Hi folks. I need to get a phosphate reactor as the last several ICP tests have been 3.5+. I was originally looking at Hmahli but had some sticker shock on BRS website. Any other suggestions? Would prefer resin type media but obviously open to anything.
 
GFO(granular ferric oxide), or lanthanum chloride are your best bets.

If your nitrates are also high, consider carbon dosing.

Don't think there is a "resin" out there that will work as effectively as GFO or lanthanum.
