Yes... Ferrous Oxide is now used, in products like Phosban and Rowaphos, compared to other products that use Aluminum oxide, which isn't really "safe" for the aquarium. Great link :wink:

not good to hear.. do you know if it releases aluminum as bad as phosguard? i guess in the short term usage of it, it's not that bad.. but guess i'll be taking it out.. may have to build a refugium then... unfortunately, i don't have space for it..
