Too much phosban???

[femmer15]

I was curious if anyone knew, what are some of the negative side affects that can be acquired from using too much phosban in a reactor? Are there fluctuations in the level of affects with smaller reefs as apposed to larger ones?

Thanks,

too much can lower ph in a small system.

too much of anything can cause a big ph fluctuation...

It is also possible to remove phosphates too quickly from your tank. Using the suggested amount per the directions is recommended. Change it as soon as you see your numbers start to increase.

Hi guys,


can i use phosban with another media, like De*Nitrate media, in the same reactor (TLF)?

for denitrate to work, the flow has to be real real slow. slower than what phosban needs.

You?re right!

I plan to overdose to Rid my system of My on going Dino flagellates problem.Just til it's gone.Have two reactors.One is using Neo Zeo.

You would be better off dripping kalk to keep the ph up to 8.5 for a week. 24/7

phosban lowers your alk, so too much phosban can lower your alk too fast

Agree with Frank and ming

Doing the kalk thing.It's a slow process but safer.

I'm not one of the bright ones here! Only thing I can contribute to this thread is that for some reason since I have not been running either of my TwoLittleFIshie reactors all my lps and gorgies are looking way happy and healthier. So I'm leaving them off for the time being.
