Sorry for the late replies, it's been a crazy week.

olaggie01, I quit testing for phosphates months ago. Every time it would come up as undetectable. But, I don't have a nice Elos kit that can really measure lower levels. I'll test to see if there's been any increase since using this filter, but I doubt it, since these bacteria consume PO4 also.

Richard, I'd hoped you might chime in on this review. That 1:4 PO4/NO3 ratio is what Snake told me also. He really likes to pitch his products!!!

So far this filter hasn't left me with a sterile tank like Bill's. Maybe it has something to do with my reduced flow vs Bill's million gallon per hour pump. Hopefully I won't have to resort to dumping nutrients or phos into the tank, like he did.

As said earlier, my green and blue acros/stylos have brightened up. My wife was even asking earlier this week if I'd bought any new corals.

Growth has picked up as shown by the visable results as well as increased calcium uptake. I've had to adjust the effluent and co2 flow in my ca reactor a few times the past few weeks. Other than that, no problems so far.
