Looking at getting one of these for my hair algae infested 10g tank. Located in Lethbridge, so will have to ship. Thanks.

Are you sure it's excess phosphates? Is your tank new? How are your lights and how much are you feeding? How old is your RO membrane?
Not to get picky but there are a ton of reasons for hair algae. If the answer is no to all of the other problems you can order one from J&L Aquatics out of Vancouver. Great prices

These have all been addressed in another post of mine. Looking to buy a used one, I dont even know if I have the room for one in my tank, so I dont want to spend $80+ for one.

Your tank is a bit small. Why not just put some Rowaphos in a small filter bag and hang it in your tank. Keep it in an area of flow and it should be fine. Or if you use a canister filter you can put the mesh bag in there.

Hanging it in your tank won't do the trick. On my 33g I put it in a bag in an AquaClear 20 ($18) that I have turned way down. It works fairly well.

Can I put a bag in the exit chamber in my AquaC Remora skimmer?
