Hi all,
I have just started using rowaphos to help get my phosphates to a level where I want them.
I added rowaphos to a high flow area in a media bag. After 24 hours, the phosphates went from 0.53 to 0.27 ppm (measured with Hanna ULR Phosphate checker). After 48 hours, the phosphates are sitting at 0.22. This could mean it's still binding phosphates though it may be that the rowaphos is exhausted already since the 0.05 decrease could just be error (I will measure again tomorrow).
I'd like to know if this means I should change out the rowaphos already? I used this online calculator (http://rowaphos-calculator.com) to work out that I needed ~70 ml of rowaphos for my 75-litre aquarium (double dose as it's not in a media reactor).
A media reactor isn't an option for me and so I know I won't get it to work super effectively.
Thanks a lot!
Chris
