Cheers,

ps I do produce the Foz Down.

I am currently using a phosban 150 for carbon and rowaphos combined.....

I am going to be only running carbon starting next month to see if I can increase my phosphates a bit. I have chaeto and barely grows... My po4 is 0, if I can increase my po4 a bit then my chaeto will grow and consume the po4 and some no3. I am also going to try growing Xenia as a nutrient export!!! It grows faster than algae.

So... Depending on how high or if you want some po4 at all should deturnine what your gonna do.
