What is everyone else using as a good alternative?

phosban is pretty much the same thing, i heard. and i heard it requires a smaller reactor (the phosban reactors many of us use)

Is RowaUSA the only distributor for Rowa products in NA? Rowa is made by D&D (Deltec) which also supplies Rowa products, so I'm not sure if that impacts all Rowa products in NA or just from that supplier.

Using PHOSaR with similar results.

Thats what I was thinking. I'm sure it will continue to be available, just not from that particular supplier.

IMO, phosban gets the job done for me. Both products function more efficiently in a reactor. I found that the rowaphos stripped the water of phosphates in a matter of hours which shocked my SPS and several RTNed immediately (of course I immediately discontinued treatment). Phosban is supposed to work a bit slower and take a few days to get the phosphate levels down. I've never had a sensitive enough test kit to actually measure phosphate in my tank (its all tied up in caulerpa) so really its being more used to keep me happy than anything else

Whats the PHOSaR stuff??

Christy--PHOSaR is another phosphate-binding media, created by Warner Marine. I read on RC that it's apparently better (due to its physical construction), so I decided to give it a try.

Look here.

I just got a really good deal direct from them thats all. I have and continue to use various media in different reactors. Rowaphos just happens to be one of the better ones. Not the best mind you, but the price/performance ratio was perfect. I guess I was a little sparse in my message

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find some of that around here

I have heard of this stuff before, I believe it is more "pelleted" sized (instead of coffee ground size Rowa is) so it is easier to handle. Might be worth a try.
