    It is a reactor for Phosban :whistling:

    It is a brand of PO4 remover.

    It is usually best to run the reactor (or similar) to ensure P04 levels are kept at zero, prevention being better than cure.

    I bought this for use in my tank AquaMedic Antiphos Fe:
    Aqua Medic : Seawater Catalogue : Filter substrate : antiphos Fe
    Basically will bag it and place in my sumps return chamber.

    Don't have the money or space at this point in time for reactors. What are your guys thoughts on this product?
    When should i start using it, immediately or once i get livestock.

    I prefer Rowaphos but that is ok, run it from the start to prevet rather than cure the problem of high phosphates - they are killers in reef tanks.
