Phosphate Question......

[Enigma]

I use ROWAphos and I run new salt water (nsw) through the reactor before I actually hook it back into the system when I replace it (the equivalent of rinsing with nsw, IMO). There are a LOT of smaller particles that find there way into the display with new ROWAphos. I actually think all of those particles may be what killed my elegance.

Thanks for the reply guys, i'll be sure to test my phosphate to see where my levels are at before i start using GFO.

in regards to rinsing, would i be exhausting the media too much if i rinse it under the tap?? its going to be in a media bag. seems easier and more efficient under running water than if i use RODI, i would just dip the media bag in a container of RODI water.

and with the corals losing their colour, will all corals lose their colour?? or mostly just SPS?

i have mostly LPS and softies and just a few SPS corals.
