Same as subject. Using the two little fish phosban reactor with Phosban Phosphate Removal Media. Thanks

When the media is exhausted. Check your phosphate levels and when you nodice it going up, replace the media. Testing is the only way of knowing when to replace the media.

Same here, I test for phos at least once a week.

More specifically test the effluent (outlet of the reactor) if PO4 is detectable then assume it is exhausted & replace.
