Can you give me a link of steel wool, so I can understand what is it? ThanksUpdate: So I have been using (Metalino) steelwool in the outflow of the DND (donovans nitrate destroyer), drilled some holes in the tubing. just in case the waterflow is restricted due to clumping of the rust. To prevent a build up of rust in equipment, I am filtering over filterwool (fiberfill - dacron). So far it has been serving me well. 0,8 grams of steel wool binds 0,04 ppm Po4 of my 400L tank. Due to the low flow of the output it prevents clouding in the tank and the rusted steel remains in the tube (loosely), and is easy to flush out in the sink and replace with some fresh steel.
Who knows, maybe it helps those struggle with rising Po4. Steel wool is incredibly effective in binding Po4... and very cheap too.. i would say a nice addition to this poor man nutrients control.
