I need some advice on elimi-phos.?

Question

Can you put elimi-phos into a sump rather than the filter, the instructions in the box are useless.

Answer 1

I had no luck using those type of products in my marine tank, Make sure you are using r-o water when doing a water change. If your bulbs are more them six months old, they start emitting more light that is beneficial to algae and slime growth. Also, a wave maker is fairly inexpensive, and the increased water flow stops the stuff from growing. Remove all slime growth often, the more there is, the faster it grows.

Answer 2

it depends on the sump, i.e the size and texture, but elimi should always be done in a fliter as this protects from germs and bacteria.
