rowaphos and carbon

[montie]

would i be able to have both of these in a canister filter at the same time? was planning to seperate the 2 types with filter floss. any comments or suggestions please

When water touch up is needed I separate mine...

I use a Fluval and put a fluval sponge into the bottom chamber with a liile floss around the sides to ensure that water flows up throught the middle of the sponge. On top of the sponge I put the phosphate remover. In the next chamber more phosphate remover. And in the last chamber my carbon with another sponge on top with more floss around the side.

Works like a champ.

thx jabber

well, i cant believe no one has said "no dont do it". seeing some of the posts in here, i find it hard to believe that "no one" has tried, failed with this suggestion. its either this or i do a seperate fluidised rowaphos bed/system, but not something i am looking forward to ;-)

Hi Montie,
I dont think The people on here can buy Rowaphos. I think it is only sold in Europe.

I can see no reason that mixing them could possibly be a problem, except that you'll have to change both at the same time.

Hi Montie,
If you search on www.ultimatereef.com a few people have tried fluidising Rowaphos with different results. Worth a look before you try it.
