What is the best phosphate remover?

I also have this issue with po4, it's usually around or above 1PPM.

I've tried rowaphos which is expensive, id throw a wholw 250 ML serving in a bag in the sump it would come down to about .6 then after a while just end up back at 1.0 or above.

I have a chaeto fuge which is growing but not growing at the rate where it can make a dent in my po4.

Also having issues with some corals receding and calcification (skeletal growth), which I think the high po4 is part of the issue.

Also following along to hear others thoughts
 
Dose Brightwell Phosphate-E at appropriate levels will provide excellent control of phosphate levels. Has worked well for me in a number of different situations. Also believe I saw a video where it is used by the WWC team for phosphate control as well.
 
I’ve been struggling with keeping my phosphates under 1ppm and was wondering if I should try harder with doing water changes more frequently as in twice a week? Or should go to get a phosphate remover? Both my tanks have HOB equipment if that makes a difference with anything.

I will post my exact chemistry when I get home and look at my sheet that I keep track on.

Yellow tang in a 60 gallon... I was told no. Good on you!
