Foz down Silver Bullet to PO4

[jtbadco]

Hey Gang,...I picked up a small promotional sample of Foz Down from a friend.

I started dosing yesterday to reduce by .1 per day. Dosed again today.

Have not tested yet to see the phosphate level reduction but the corals are already more plump, there is more polyp extension and the colors are more vibrant.

The silver bullet is back in stock, (otherwise known as Foz down) please email us at sales@aqua-digital.com for supply.

Time to get rid of your fluid reactor now and all the messy media changing!!

So this is suppose to be better then GFo, wHowever does this product rapidly lower ALk if you use it alot.

How often do you dose this? Daily ? GFO set and forget for months.

Hi,

Here is how I have set up a few large systems, one is 700 gallons and the other is 300 gallons. Both systems have dosing pumps and I use one of the pump heads to dose small amounts multiple times per day into the sump. In the 700 gallon system the Foz Down is dosed into one of the 7" filter socks in the sump. The 300 gallon system is just dosed directly into the sump. I use the 8oz bottle of Foz Down with a rigid plastic pipe that connects to the inlet side of the dosing pump.

Another option is if you run an ATO system is to add some Foz Down into the water container. If you dose kalk with your ATO then I would not mix the kalk with the Foz Down.

For my 800 gallon system I manually dose into the sump. I am presently in process on setting up multiple 7" filter socks so once they are in place I will dose into those.

I am more than happy to offer suggestions for your specific setup if you like.

Cheers,
Tim

if you drip this into a sock there's a fraction of a second before that water passes through the sock. does this reaction take place instantly so we're catching the floculates and also preventing the foz down from entering the same water the fish inhabit?

if it can actually work on contact in the sock and i'm understanding this right... you've reacted with a very tiny portion of your displays water and can't possibly have taken much p04 out unless you were doing a lot of drips throughout the day.

Can you explain the reaction mechanism a bit better please Tim? I'm interested in this if it's cheaper to use than gfo.

Hi,

This product does not rapidly lower Alkalinity... only Phosphates.

It is important to not use too much as the sudden drop in Phosphate levels can shock corals.

Do not use the product if there is NO phosphate present in the tank.
