Started trying fozdown approx. 6 weeks ago . Always have had problems keeping phosphate under control . Extremely happy with results & cost , compared to GFO/Rowa. Definitely worth a try !!!!

Hey Mark, how are you getting it into your tank, sump, ato or ?
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now in the ato water method, seems to be working and controlling PO4, I like the no muss no fuss and probably won't go back to GFO.

The only place to get it locally is at King Eds?

Yes,

King Eds or Monocus on CanReef.

I do sell it locally as well for people who are closer to me in the Valley.

Tim, for such a great product, why isn't more effort put into distribution? J&L, Reef Supplies, etc?

j&l have their own 2 brands for phosphate control-brightwell and precision marine

I'm using thru ato but because of weather the evaporation will vary, so bought another Doser to add that way. Haven't switched over yet but looking to dilute it then dose.
Any recommendations would help , thanks .

If your dosing through your ATO how do you ensure its even mixed throughout your entire top off supply? Do you keep a powerhead in you ATO?

Also how much are you guys dosing in your ATO water? I have roughly a 10 gallon top off supply that gets used up once per week. I really only need approx 3 drops a day to keep phosphate at .03 or lower.

I go thru approx 7g of ato a week . I have a 15g reservoir. I add 8ml of fozdown per 5g . No power head to keep mixing , just when initially adding to reservoir. Seems to stay stable over the 2 weeks it will last. But evaporation does vary , so am going to dose into sump.

Nick used to carry it.

With King Ed's and Monocus carrying it that serves the Burnaby/Coquitlam area.

In Calgary, Wai's and Eli carry it.
In Kamloops, Matt from Kamloops Korals carries it.
In Kelowna, Purple Seahorse carries it.
In Regina, Pat's Pets carries it.
In Vernon, AJ's carries it.
In Winnipeg, J.W Bird Shop carries it.

Cheers,
Tim
