So mch for my Rowaphos
 

Seems their gone :(

What is everyone else using as a good alternative?

phosban is pretty much the same thing, i heard. and i heard it requires a smaller reactor (the phosban reactors many of us use)

Is RowaUSA the only distributor for Rowa products in NA? Rowa is made by D&D (Deltec) which also supplies Rowa products, so I'm not sure if that impacts all Rowa products in NA or just from that supplier.

Using PHOSaR with similar results.

Thats what I was thinking. I'm sure it will continue to be available, just not from that particular supplier.

IMO, phosban gets the job done for me. Both products function more efficiently in a reactor. I found that the rowaphos stripped the water of phosphates in a matter of hours which shocked my SPS and several RTNed immediately (of course I immediately discontinued treatment). Phosban is supposed to work a bit slower and take a few days to get the phosphate levels down. I've never had a sensitive enough test kit to actually measure phosphate in my tank (its all tied up in caulerpa) so really its being more used to keep me happy than anything else :razz:

Whats the PHOSaR stuff??

Christy--PHOSaR is another phosphate-binding media, created by Warner Marine. I read on RC that it's apparently better (due to its physical construction), so I decided to give it a try.

Look here. :smile:

I just got a really good deal direct from them thats all. I have and continue to use various media in different reactors. Rowaphos just happens to be one of the better ones. Not the best mind you, but the price/performance ratio was perfect. I guess I was a little sparse in my message :(

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find some of that around here :biggrin:

I have heard of this stuff before, I believe it is more "pelleted" sized (instead of coffee ground size Rowa is) so it is easier to handle. Might be worth a try.
