please could you tell me when these products will be available in sa and what the recommended retail price would be?
The RedSea one is in liquid form , and is used as a short term thing,There is also a Red Sea version available the last few weeks at the local LFS's. Same idea
Hi Mandarinman. Mc is right. Your best bet would be to ask your LFS to please order it for you if they don't have it in stock. They're in stock by us and ready to be dispatched. Of course shops are welcome to charge what prices they see fit, but for advertising purposes then the following prices are a rough guide:
Xport-NO3 150g - R239
Xport-NO3 300g - R417
Xport-PO4 350g - R524
Xport-PO4 700g - R962
The RedSea one is in liquid form , and is used as a short term thing,
But this one is a media, like small balls that you put in a filter bag.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
What is the advantage of NitratR and PhosphatR over the Red Sea Po4 No3 remover?No, not regenerable like NitratR or PhosphatR. But if you have a bad phosphate problem and need to get it sorted right away, then Brightwell's PhosphatE (liquid) is very potent. 1ml removes 1ppm phosphates in 15L of water. Just be careful not to drop your phosphates to undetectable levels too quick. I would use a liquid product to bring down the phosphates, then move over to normal media (like Xport, ROWAphos, ATI's Phosphat Stop, Phosguard, ExtraxPhos, etc.) for maintenance.
carbon and potassium
I didn't find purigen or chemi-pure that effective at controlling nitrates and in the two weeks of using xport NO3 my nitrate have come down from 50 to 20 and I have increased my feeding.
