Or if Tim is willing to ship to Calgary (in case its not available), maybe we can split the shipping I wouldn't mind using it so that I don't have to buy a reactor and pump.

Too much talk of filter socks. Probably not a good product for me.

Seems like more work than GFO.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Question... once the po4 is bound, does it still show up on a test like the milwaukee photometer?

No it does not. The bound phosphate is inert. I use a Lamotte photometer to check Phosphates and it does not register.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi,

The purpose of Foz Down was to reduce the cost and work associated with removing Phosphates.

The reason people want to use filter socks with the Foz Down is the fear that the bound phosphate will be released back into the system. I have never heard of this happening nor have I heard of an experiment to test the theory.

If you would rather not use filter socks then that is your decision. It won't effect your system in a negative way if you don't. I have used Foz Down with out filter socks for several years with no ill effects.

Cheers,
Tim

This sounds like a great solution but I do not use filter socks either.

So I understand I can still use this product - but how do I export the bound phosphate from my system? Or do I have to? Will the skimmer not eventually take it out or will it all settle to the bottom of my sump and create a different cleaning chore?

thanks for your assistance with these questions - it's always great to get the expert's take on things so we can make an informed decision.
