Phospate remover dust

[Mr.First]

First of all , how the heck to you get rid of it before using it , and how bad is it if it clouds the tank <
I am using PORA Phoslock

 

[Mr. Softy]

You can't eliminate the dust. Its the nature of the beast. Try putting a fine filter sock/pad on your drain. Here is an alternative.

It is the High Capacity GFO which holds up to abrasion.

HUH??

I run mine through 10g of water before I allow it to go into the tank - are you doing that? if not, you should.

Man House you seem to be the only (1) to answer my questions. Thanks also to Mr.Softy. I run it though a good amount of water, I guess not enough. It seems it always cloulds up with movement.

What I used to do (when I used to use it) is take the output of the reactor and let it run into a bucket. Having some new saltwater on hand to replace the water you just took out. Let it run until the output water is pretty clear. The first gallon is really cloudy and usually by the 2nd gallon, its fairly clear, I would estimate I ran it through 1-2 gallons each time. Its like a mini water change too

As well as starting the pump up full force, but turn it back down just before the reactor fills to the top with water.​

 

[Mr.First]

Ah ha, water change, Makes sense

 

[Awibrandy]

Exactly, but you still have to start the pump up fast then slow it down to where the phos just shimmies before putting the return tubing back into either your tank or sump.

+1 run 5-10g of ro water through reactor first thats what i do,and run it through slow where the phosban is moving only about a 1/2 to 3/4 and that also how i run it when its on the system
