Holly crap, now that's some SH!tty water. Are you testing out of the gfo reactor?

 

[mark.a.smith405]

Sick tank man! My phosphates are usually pretty high, I haven't tested in a while though... You can also try phosphate e or what ever it's called it worked really well


Thank you,

Andy

Posting mostly to follow, but also wanted to commend you on the pic of the Hanna tester...love the tank in the background...total magazine ad pic. Good luck with the stuff and looking forwards to results (positive ones).

I use Brightwell Phosphat-E and it works as expected but this stuff caters to the lazy man in me.

+1 Phosphat-E Works for me as well.............

 

[lowbudget]

this stuff works just put the bag in a high flow area in the sump where the water runs through. you will see a difference in a week

Is this similar to the Blue Life Clear FX Pro? I am gonna try that stuff after the SCMAS meeting. Anyone know the difference or if they are essentially the same product in different packaging? Both have a high capacity activated carbon and two different resins.

Its pretty much the same stuff cody

 

[BeanMachine]

Cool, I'm gonna give the blue life a shot just waiting on a big jug.

I got a Can of this stuff, I'm going to try It in my Nano.

I bought the Blue Life stuff but heard good things about the Aquamaxx so I have that right now in the AIO frag tank. I tested my p04 last night and it was .13, I don't even have any fish in there so I'm but sure how well it works if it can't keep the p04 down with a tank that just has a dozen frags.

 

[johnwin84]

i bought the biggest bag 32oz..
p04 were .79 on sunday and monday they were.37..
but i also add 18 drop of blue life phosphate remover (half dose) sunday and monday
i"m going to stop dosing when i get into the .05 range to see if the bag works alone

 

[Riblet]

Ruffreef Are you running the blueline or the aquamaxx in it frag tank?

 

[BeanMachine]

I have some cyano, so I wanted to try this. Phosphates are .03 just want to kick this crap out of the system.

You kinda skewed your own stats there John lol, now you don't know what helped

Aquamaxx, I bought the big one which was good for 100g I believe and I put half in the frag tank which is 30gallons.

lol i know the blue life stuff works. i used it many time before. i take the easy aggressive route. i have taken the gfo (brs) off line since i to lazy to replace it. once i get my level to 0 ill probably buy a bucket of rowaphos and use that.
