Chemi-Pure and PURA Phoslock

Travis Savant · 08/22/2006, 05:09 PM

Yesterday I went by Fintastic, my LFS, and picked up some Chemi-Pure and some PURA Phoslock. The only filtration I was running on my tank was LR, LS, and a Remora protien skimmer. I get back from work to day (both have been in the tank since yesterday) and I the water is SOOO much clearer. I realy thought that my water was clear, but now it's really clear. I know OZONE would make it even clearer, but I'm not ready to invest in one.

I bought the PURA Phoslock because I don't have a Phosphate cartrage on my RO/DI Unit and I don't have a test kit for it. I have noticed a lack of algae on the sandbed. Hopefully the SPS will color up even more with less Phosphate in the water.

never tried phoslock

I've used seachem and kent's phosphate absorbers, I'm wondering if Phoslock is any better

Couldn't say, I haven't used seachem or kent's.
