Hello!
I am a bit confused. I know there are other posts on this topic but I could not find any definitive answer. I was looking for information on ferric vs aluminum based phosphate binder medias in a passive way (bag).
Since there is some controversy with aluminum binders that can leach aluminum back in the tank in some conditions, and there is no such issue with gfo, why would one still use aluminum base media? (Except the cost)
According to me, it does not make sense people would still want to use aluminum based medias when there are so many different GFOs available… Am i missing something ?
Thanks!
