My Tank Thread
Was checking out AMS product range and came to 2 types of phosphate removers:
Super Phos and Super Phos SPS where the differences are as follows:
SuperPhos SPS: Larger granule, Less weight per same volume and its supposed to absorb PO4 slower (assume this is to avoid shocking corals) and it's mentioned to be for ULNS.
SuperPhos:Smaller granule, more weight at same volume.
Both are good for fresh and saltwater... both are GFO.
Any input on the difference between the fast and slow absorption and any pros or cons to each other than a slower reduction and less risk of shocking corals?
By slowwer absorption are they just relying on the larger grain size for less contact and then a slower absorption?wouldn't this limit absorption when the granules get coated with a bacterial film?
Thanks for any input as we have both and I'm wondering which one to go for. I got one of each to try to compare but doubt comparing how much reduction I get with the same volume or weight is going to provide a clear indication on which one to go with.
