Foz Down vs: GFO

[Doug]

Im planning on only using it on my new 90g. I guess its ok to use with Prodibio as I use go with it now?

I also only dose Fozdown directly into my filter sock to try and avoid any deposits making it into the tank. Don't know if it makes a difference or not though.

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.
