Had you run PhosBan prior to this? ....in a canister say?
I have run RowaPhos in canisters on both my reef tank and FOWLR. With the FOWLR my phosphates were too high so I bought and setup a PhosBan reactor. The phosphates climbed even higher. So I went back to running the media in the canister and the phosphates fell back. I don't know for sure, but IME, these reactors are overrated. Mind you I was running RowaPhos in it, and not PhosBan, but that shouldn't matter, IMO. I may try it again in the near future.

Cheers,
