    Hello chaps!

    What antiphos media are you using/would recommend ? I'm battling with DINOs :mad: and would like to finally get rid of this stuff!

    Cheers!

    I use Kents Phosphate sponge, mainly cause i can get enough to last me for a year for around $20, but i will say that it does work, but do not leave it in for more than a week or you will have it worse than before.......

    I've used all of the above mentioned products, including the Phos-Guard, and they all work quite well.

    Cool! Thanks for hint! I will pick up PhosGuar tomorrow and load my filter. I've dedicated Eheim 2213 to chemical filtration. I'm planning to load it with Seachem Matrix/Denitrate/Phos Guard. Total volume of approx. 3liters = 0.9 gal with 100gph flow.

    Phos guard is good

    HI,
    Many people use phos guard but I have noticed it only last about a week, the rowena last longer and seems to work better.
    Its your money.

    Hmm... Thanks for info! I will check if they have got some other Fe-based alternatives.

    Cheers!
