Conclusions
We can sum everything up by saying that considering the several differences between tanks, if you have a problem with phosphates you will probably benefit from using this product.
Considering that with the same product you can also get rid of silicates I would say that the quality/price relationship is great, even though they work much better in a fluidized bed filter. This is because this resin is not made up of adsorbent materials like carbon, but being based on iron hydroxide they need a constant water flow through them to work at their best. That’s why they don’t do much if they are just left soaking in sump.
Also remember they work without leaving the red cloud typical of iron based resins!
We are also really curious to try those especially thought for reactors or fluidized beds like “Remover Po4 and SiO2 Reaktor” to find out the differences and help you buy the one the suits your tank better.
PRO
Good quality/price relationship
Complete absence of suspension material after dosage
No stress signs in animals
CONTRO
They work at their best only in a fluidized bed filter (just like most resins)
Suggested dosage is slightly underestimated
