You can buy some Rowaphos put it in a bag then put it in your sump were water circulation is good.

Article on phosphates with several parts on phosphate exportation. I'm currently using a newer on the market product by Warner Marine called PHOSaR.

Fill your 20 sump with cheato, I havn't detected phosphates in many o' months since doing this. or nitrates for that matter. and it's cheaper than phosphate removers.
