Siporax

I posted in my local forum to find that nobody local uses it, lol!

I've done my research, but would like to hear the experience of some reefers using this product!

Pros? cons? Quirks?

If you use it which size and how big is your system!

What's your mode of export for phosphate, seeing as this media is pretty much for nitrate?

Thanks in advance guys!

Siporax is nothing but housing for your bacteria. So, once your probiotic or beneficial bacteria colonise them it helps to lower down your nutrient including nitrate and phosphate. My system is 70G total and other than very few live rock I use 2 litre siporax in low flow area of sump in filter bags. Other than this as I follow Aquaforest so I have life biofil too. Also @jsker and @120reefkeeper can help you.

Siporax rocks! Much better than live rock as media. Extremely porous!!!

Provided that you grow your denitrifying bacterias well.

Dump 2 bags in sump and let it work it course.

NoPox on daily basis.

That's it. Simple regime.

Aaaaah and skim wet, beneficial for Po4 export.
