I would not be using two products at the same time as it would be difficult to control.Would using the following phosphate treatments (together at the same time) really remove all the phosphate from the water?
If I am remembering your previous posts correctly, your tank is extremely new. There is no reason to use either of these products yet (if at all).Would using the following phosphate treatments (together at the same time) really remove all the phosphate from the water?

This was posted less than a week ago. Do you have other tanks?I currently have a ten gallon tank that is still cycling (no fish in it). I want to upgrade it to 55 gallons.

Generally speaking, do these phosphate removers work as good as RODI filters when it comes to removing phosphate from tap water?
In regards to the copper issue, do water conditioners such as Prime actually detoxify heavy metals as indicated on their bottle label? I’m thinking that water conditioners would remove or lessen the copper in the water. Can anybody confirm?They can work better (if you use enough) than an RO/DI for removing phosphate from tap water, but I don't generally think that is needed or useful. RO/DI at 0 ppm TDS removes enough so that any you might measure (say, 0.05 ppm) is an insignificant contributor to the phosphate balance of a reef tank relative to foods, and RO/DI removes other stuff, such as copper.
The ONLY thing Prime is good for is dechlorination. Afaik, water conditioners do not remove copper.In regards to the copper issue, do water conditioners such as Prime actually detoxify heavy metals as indicated on their bottle label?

Reverse osmosis/deionization is by and far the best way to remove copper. Carbon will not. There is a product called CupriSorb that will, but it will get very expensive to treat all your tapwater with itWill carbon remove the copper from the water?
No of course not. I am asking general questions as part of a college project.Are your recent questions because you don't want to invest in an RODI unit?

But according to this posting carbon will remove the copper:Reverse osmosis/deionization is by and far the best way to remove copper. Carbon will not. There is a product called CupriSorb that will, but it will get very expensive to treat all your tapwater with it
That poster was asking if keeping carbon in his tank would interfere with a therapeutic level of copper, not about whether carbon can remove copper from tapwaterBut according to this posting carbon will remove the copper:
Using carbon during chelated copper treatment.
Will carbon (Seachem pouch designed for Tidal 35 HOB) remove or significantly reduce the level of chelated copper in my 16 gallon qt tank? If no, is there any reason *not* to run carbon during the copper phase of qt?www.reef2reef.com
I found it. Thanks!Reverse osmosis/deionization is by and far the best way to remove copper. Carbon will not. There is a product called CupriSorb that will, but it will get very expensive to treat all your tapwater with it
