Default DIY Phosphate Ban Chems?
Are there any home remedies/DIY phosphate chemicals one can make up or buy in bulk? Im sick of paying $15 for phos ban chems.

Any thing to look into?

Thanks my fellow 3reefers!

Depends what you consider "that bad" Some days i have it close to zero. Some days just a bit above. I just need to get them to zero.

So far i have boughten it from the LFS and havent been too impressed with the results. $15 for approx 200g or so.

Thanks for both of those links guys.

Appreciate all your help
