His talking about phosban and Rowaphos to control his phospates which they are a little bit high.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

AHH yes, I use it from time to time, just watch the clams. They sometimes have bad reactions to it.

Why do they have a bad reaction?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

The phosban sometimes has iron in it and iron is a known trigger for pinched mantle.

Nick Marine · Reef-Geek

basically your introducing aluminum oxides or iron oxides (depending upon the medium) to the tank which can have a poisoning effect in short.

rowa phos is iron based not alloy like phos ban

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Agreed, with clams pinched mantle can be present but just be sitting idle. It seems with the addition of iron this triggers the pm in to action.
