Does anyone use a phosphate reactor? Looking for some recommendations. I am using the "bag" in the sump but the reactor would be more beneficial I think.

Please let me know what you are doing to bring down your phosphates in your water.

I use RO/DI.. From my understanding you shouldn't need a phos reactor if you don't have any in your water to begin with.. I could be wrong however.

I get my RO/DI from the reef shop locally so I shouldn't have any but my readings have been a little high. .15 and .22 today though the tank was really stirred up which the mgr said would increase the reading. I have the typical bag o phosban in the sump but there must be a better way.

Hmmm, maybe but if it is happening on other days the LFS has an issue with what they are selling.

If you are using RO/DI water you shouldn't need one I don't think. I currently can't use RO/DI water, so I'm going to get one and try it out. I personaaly don't know anything about how well they work or anything cause I havn't had one yet.
