Fun little PO4 Media holder!

[Luckyduck]

So media bags are big and more so ugly. My sump is a hang on back refugium and I like to keep it pretty. I have a 15 Gallon reef and my Phosphates are getting too high. I have Phoslock which worked great for me in the past with my other tanks. Issue is I only need 1 Teaspoon. After looking around for loadable bio balls and other things I asked my wife if she had any ideas. Enter the Silicone Tea strainer! So here's my Yellow submarine/phosphate remover holder. Just had to share the fun idea she came up with!

Looks cool.

Side note: if the chain holding it is metal, it may corrode.

Stainless but yes I will surley keep an eye on it! I had that same thought as well lol I can use it without the chain if need be.

Fishing line would work. Safer.

Gotta be creative sometimes, I use new nylons with phosguard and put them in the hob filters.

Yea I've heard of that as well. I just like keeping everything pretty especially with a 100% exposed sump/refugium.

Think you will get enough flow thru it? Cool idea though!
