| Yea this is an old thread I started way back when we were going over various filtration systems. I did it to get a feel for how folks percieved various problems with in thier tanks and to see where thier priorities were.
In the wild nitrogen is everywhere and is quite common, plus thier is a ton of things that can deal with it and eliminate it. Also nitrates can be made from scratch in our tanks so its not truely limiting. WIth the ammount of cyanos we have in oour tanks its be manufactured all the time.
In regards to Phosphates they are limited by how much we truely put into our tanks. So when you compare the two in our reef tanks P is truely limiting.
Nick using a PO4 reactor with phosban or rowa is just one part of the overall battle against total P. It will suck up any available PO4 that passes through it, so yes it could play a part in the over all game.
