Running Rowaphos and NOPOx together

[adamf83]

In an effort to bring down my Nitrates and Phosphates I’ve been daily dosing NOPOx.

Is there any harm in running Rowaphos in a media bag, in the sump as well as a daily dose of NOPOx?

They can be run in tandem, but the only concern is to ensure that you do not bottom out phosphate, as the risk obviously increases with each additional nutrient export method. So long as you are aware and take steps to ensure this doesn't happen, it's quite common for reefers to specifically lower their phosphate in addition to the small phosphate reduction from carbon dosing.

Thanks. Yep, I plan to keep a close eye on it so the it doesn’t bottom out.
