Hi

I have been using eheim phosphate remover in my roma 125 planted and well socked tank. I am looking to change to Seachem phosguard. Having checked on their website they say

"It is not recommended for phosphate buffered freshwater."

What do you say is buffered freshwater?

Is anyone using either product? how do you find it?

Thanks guys
Regards

As long as your not using a pH buffer to stabilize your pH which may contain phosphate.

You can get products that use phosphate as a buffer to alter pH, if you don't use any such product you will be fine, I use Phosguard myself and i recommend it.
