Thats what I was thinking. I'm sure it will continue to be available, just not from that particular supplier.

IMO, phosban gets the job done for me. Both products function more efficiently in a reactor. I found that the rowaphos stripped the water of phosphates in a matter of hours which shocked my SPS and several RTNed immediately (of course I immediately discontinued treatment). Phosban is supposed to work a bit slower and take a few days to get the phosphate levels down. I've never had a sensitive enough test kit to actually measure phosphate in my tank (its all tied up in caulerpa) so really its being more used to keep me happy than anything else

Whats the PHOSaR stuff??

Christy--PHOSaR is another phosphate-binding media, created by Warner Marine. I read on RC that it's apparently better (due to its physical construction), so I decided to give it a try.

Look here.

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find some of that around here

Look here.

I have heard of this stuff before, I believe it is more "pelleted" sized (instead of coffee ground size Rowa is) so it is easier to handle. Might be worth a try.

Is there a Candian supplier of PhosAR?

You should be able to get it from anyone who handles Warner Marine Products.

Polyplab released a rechargeable Phosphate binder just a little while ago, anybody try it yet?

Too bad to hear about that! I hope the product will still be available from another distributor?

That OptiPhos looks really promising! I wonder if it has the same removal capacity/rate of other types of phosphate removal media before it is used?

Just put it in my phosban reactor yesterday, I'll keep you posted as to the success. So far thoguh I like it better than the Rowaphos I was using. Much less messy to work with. The Rowaphos always makes such a horrible mess, and it took a lot of rinsing to clean up. I had trouble with it hardening up into a solid mass in the reactor after a couple of weeks too. The Opti-phos hardly took any rinsing to start, and I like the fact that it can be re-charged multiple times.
