Does ROWA phosphate really works? please come in and advice.

[jket88]

Any bro who used before Rowa phos and does it really remove heavy metal and phosphate and chlorine from water? Any good or bad experience that you guy face?

Thanks for all advise.

rowaphos has been in the market for donkey years .. like at least 10 years ? and still alot of hobbyists using this.

A product that doesn't work wont last for so long

[angmoh]

rowaphos is designed to mainly remove phosphate and silicates. I use activated carbon to remove heavy metals. chlorine is never my concern.

its very good in Dropping Phosphates Rather Quickly..As For Metals Im not to sure...But Works Like A Charm!

Bro,

I met you at the Madpetz the other day when you and your gf picked up the deltec skimmer. Hope you remember me. How is your deltec working so far?

For rowaphos, it only removes phosphate and silicate not heavy metal and chlorine.

If you want to know if it really works, the best way is use a quality PO4 test kit like Salifert or Hanna color meter to measure the input and output of your FR. You should see a drastic drop in PO4 reading. The output will not be zero reading unless your tank PO4 is very low. It will take a few pass for the rowaphos to pick up all the PO4 in the water.

Having said that, it also depends on whether you have anything in your tank leaching phosphate. If you have something generating phosphate (e.g. old DSB, rotten food, etc.) as fast as the rowaphos can absorb, you will not see any drop in the tank PO4.

Thanks for all kind advise. Aquareef123, I remember u, deltec skimmer v good n power, worth to buy. How is ur bio reactor u bought from madzpet? It seem too small for ur 5 feet tank

[jket88]

I just measure my no3. Now at 2.5ppm, any ways to lower it? I have mce 600 deltec, bio reactor skims BR80.

Run Some Biosphere..

Thanks for the advice. Does the bio sphere run the same way as bio pellet?

Yeap Same bro..You Have A Reactor? If no..place it in a high flow zone..or in skimmer bottom chamber..

The bio sphere can put into a bag and put inside my mce600 skimmer chamber? I have skimz BR80 bio pellet reactor, I think my tank have no full cycle. Only 1.5 month so far

"does it really remove heavy metal and phosphate and chlorine from water?"

Are u planning on using rowa to "clean" tap water? Or just for phosphate reduction in a general sense?

use The Reactor be better..i Heard if its in the skimmer..it Melts Faster than usally..

cheers

The rowa reactor quite ex. I using RO/Do water for my top up.n water change. Hope this will help in reducing the nitrate and silicate in my tank. I yhink my tank still in cycling process that why still have nitrate in it. I do a NO3 test n result is 2.5ppm.

Nope. I use my RO/Do unit to clean the tap water. Jus for phosphate reduction.

its recommended to run rowa in small quantity but change more frequently.

e.g instead of running 500ml of rowa and change per month. do it 150ml change per week. just an example.

2.5 ppm no3 is optimal imo

The bio reactor is running. But heard that it will take at least 2 weeks to kick in. So I'm impatiently waiting. Hehehe. Now my no3 is 40ppm and po4 is 0.2. Your no3 of 2.5ppm is quite good lay.

Normally it took a month to kick in. Remember to place ur bio reactor near to your skimmer. Cos the skimmer will do the job after your bio reactor release .

I do water change ever week. Do you know where to get those electronic devices to check po4 and no3?

[jket88]

Anyone can advise me where to get electronic device to check for calcium,PO4 and NO3? Where to buy?

Anyone use this product to test calcium in water before? How is it? The product name is HI758 checker-marine calcium.

Please advise me. Thanks. Below is the link of the product.
