From reading, depends on the sock, seems 100 microns to coarse to be effective.

Prodibio and Foz Down are compatible.

I have 5 and 10 micron filter socks with a 4" plastic ring available.

So you need a finer than 100 micron sock? God that would clog so fast on my return.

If your concerned about removing the flocs yes. I am not concerned about it and let them settle out in the sump. I vacuum the sump so any would get removed then.

Started trying fozdown approx. 6 weeks ago . Always have had problems keeping phosphate under control . Extremely happy with results & cost , compared to GFO/Rowa. Definitely worth a try !!!!

Hey Mark, how are you getting it into your tank, sump, ato or ?
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now in the ato water method, seems to be working and controlling PO4, I like the no muss no fuss and probably won't go back to GFO.

The only place to get it locally is at King Eds?

[TimT]

Yes,

King Eds or Monocus on CanReef.

I do sell it locally as well for people who are closer to me in the Valley.

I'm using thru ato but because of weather the evaporation will vary, so bought another Doser to add that way. Haven't switched over yet but looking to dilute it then dose.
Any recommendations would help , thanks .
