SRC Member Teha Toshie Posted December 19, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Anyone uses this before? Is it just a gimmicky product? Using it on my 1.5ft cube. But has little to no effect on removing phosphate. Claiming it does remove phosphate & sillicat but not sure how as there is no GFO in it. It only states that it has Carbon & Deionize resins. Chemi pure elite tho has GFO. Here the inside of CPB, White resin, Chocolate Rice & that red little thang. In short im trying to say that its not working for my system, im trying to avoid diatom bloom but it still happened. Have to run a bag of rowaphos. Anyone has success trying CPB Edited December 19, 2015 by Teha Toshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JMW Posted December 19, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted December 19, 2015 Tagging along, have not used CBP before, but have tried alternatives to Rowaphos such as API phoszorb too. In the end use gbpo4 btw when you say no effect, what were your phos readings before & after introducing CBP to your system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Teha Toshie Posted December 20, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Before reading, didnt check haha, current reading = Salifert test reading of 0.5ppm. Am using distilled water, not ro/di. Suspect phosphate leaking from dry rock. After much reading found out that CPB has phosphate asorbing resin. PAR vs GFO?
