RowaPhos or PhosBan?

[Johnny Reefer]

Just wondering if one goes farther and is more cost effective than the other.
I think they both probably do the same, essentially, but I have a hunch one goes farther than the other.
It's so hard to compare.
One is wet, the other is dry, and thus measures differently, by weight.
One is measured in grams, the other mls.
How the heck are you supposed to measure a solid substance in mls?.....
....and what is the equivalant of the dry gram product to the wet mls product?

Just hoping a consensus will enlighten me more on this, and help me to reach a decision on which one I want to settle on.

Thanx much,

In summary, iron oxide based phosphate removers are effective at lowering phosphate levels in a reef tank and can reduce them to natural seawater levels. There appears to be little difference in effectiveness of the two leading brands, so one can use either depending on price and availability.

I've only used Rowaphos, so can't comment on Phosban, however I had this link bookmarked: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...004/review.htm
Please disregard if you're already familiar with the article...

Sheesh, I'm a slow typist
That'll teach me to perhaps refresh the page next time, before hitting the submit button...

Amazing what is out there.
I never thought to look.
That article pretty much confirms what I was thinking. That being that PhosBan is the better deal.
Thanx much.

[Johnny Reefer]

So much for the poll.
Oh well.

Edit: However, I'd still be interested in hearing of people's choice between the two.

Thanx.

I use Rowa only because I can get any Phosban without ordering it.. From what I hear King eds is going to stock it as well as JL soon and I will be switching over only because of the price.

Voted neither because I don't use.

if you have a lot of sps you might want to do some further reseach if you are just starting to use it.
