New Phosphate Remover from Warner Marine

[Ed Hahn]

The new media is larger. Its pellets. The package states not to prewash.
It also looks like it covers more volume. 125 grams is recommended for 125 gallons. I am excited to try it. Its nice to see people constantly improving their products to be the best.

Do any of our sponsors carry this? I've been looking for a phosphate remover that I can just run in a micron bag for my 20G tank.

thanks for the kind words guys...

It's a great new material for removing Phosphates... can be used IN a reactor but doesn't NEED to be in one. The pelleted shape completely resists channeling, clumping and you can run higher flow thru your reactor because media is more likely to tumble than "flutter".
In a media bag it works well as long as it receives some water flow such as in an overflow or in a sump next to your skimmer return or whatever...
Granular material locks together because the media forms irregular shapes and the pressure of being in a media bag provides friction to form a nearly solid lump of GFO.
In house we've tested water flow thru the 3 major Phos products... and the GFH (the moist one) literally flows near ZERO, the granular media flows SLIGHTLY and the PHOSaR about 800% more.

Tagging along to see what everyone thinks when they try it out. I've been happy with all the WM products I've used, so I'll be interested in this, as well.

Phosar

Ok, I bought a media bag.
Here is two jars of 125 grams or 250 grams of Phosar and media bag.

My picture is not as close up as Jon's, but here is one container open.

Where did you buy it at, Ed?

 

[Ed Hahn]

I would recommend rinsing it with RO or RO/DI water, but its your choice.

Here is why..

stupid trick of filling media bag by Key Board. Don't try this at home, he he..

As you can see there is residue from pellets. I have a RO unit plumbed to my Kitchen Sink. This is what I recommend doing is rinsing the media and letting the excess flow into drain with Filtered water.

 

[Ed Hahn]

I placed Media bag before my return pump in my sump.

I am pretty sure this will work. I have a little bit of algae bloom on my glass.
If all works as planned, my glass will most likely been clean.
I will report back soon.

Matt,
You should be able to get it from Champion Lighting. I got mine directly from Warner Marine.

 

[Scooterman]

[Boomer]

Yah sure Ed, shoot a water jet at it so it gets all over the house and the wife gets pissed

OK, looks more like trout cow now :lol:

You are suppose to fill media bags in the sink
