I bought Pura PhosLock (made by Magnavore) yesterday at my LFS. It seems to be the same stuff as phosban (ferric hydroxide) but it is packaged WET.

At a glance it looks to be MUCH cheaper than phosban but since the media is WET (unlike phosban's 150grams that is DRY) you are getting much less product. It also took a bit more rinsing than the phosban did. I did like the large media bag w/velcro closure that came with it.

Other than the small amount and extra rinsing it seems to be working fine with no adverse affects on my livestock.
