  I run two boxes of the spheres in my 120g tank, no real issues, the surface area of each sphere is crazy! I plan on running them in my new tank as well  :be happy:

I use 2 of the large bricks in a couple tanks. Good substitute for live rock in a compact form factor.  Some have claimed they leech aluminum though.

I once used 1 in a skimmerless 29 gallon and I never got any detectable Phosphate or Nitrate, but bulk reef supply ran a test and they couldn’t confirm a nitrate benefit so ???

I will say I like it where you want a low-rock aquascape like a Frag tank.  Interested to hear some other options. I think Jordon used a similar product by another manufacturer.

i have the spheres in my main display sump and my frag sump, also a few in the HOB of my 27 gallon. shortly after adding them to my main display my nitrates dropped  and remained low. now 1.5 years later i have climbing nitrates and have not changed my maintenance routine. i have not rinsed them, could be part of it, i was wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen.

I run them in my coral quarntine tank, fish quarntine tank and the invert/proaquatix fish system. Like them. They do a good job for me
