D-D The Aquarium Solution Ltd – is one of the most well known and respected suppliers of specialist equipment in the industry for use in salt water and fresh water aquariums. Our company philosophy is to develop and introduce products for the hobbyist which are technically innovative and that we ourselves have tested and know will work. Many of our products like those from Aquaillumination, Rowa and Deltec set world standards by which other products are measured. Our Managing Director, David Saxby is known throughout the world as being at the forefront of modern reef keeping and his 3,700 gallon home aquarium system has appeared on television and in many books.
David describes his methods as a ‘reef gardener’ approach rather than that of a scientist and has learned the hard way over many years what works and what doesn’t work whilst pushing forward the boundaries of the hobby through his worldwide connections. David initially formed D-D in 2001 as he wanted to bring his own personal experience of which products worked for him to the mass market and to dispel the myths and witchcraft that abound within the hobby. The success of D-D’s partnerships with companies such as Aquaillumination, Rowa and Deltec plus the development of a wide range of our own products has seen the company grow well beyond that original idea to become one of the most successful companies of its type in the marketplace today. When surfing our site bear in mind that each and every product has been developed or chosen by ourselves as hobbyists for hobbyists and is known to work.

Feed Your Fish and Not Your Algae.
Rowaphos is the professional method of removing Phosphate and Silicate in all types of Aquariums and Ponds. RowaPhos is guaranteed to remove more phosphate than any other product worldwide. In freshwater or salt water aquariums phosphates will feed nuisance algae which can overrun plants and expensive corals spoiling the aesthetics of the tank and in extreme cases killing its inhabitants. Within the reef aquarium, phosphates will greatly affect the formation of coral skeletons by reducing calcification by over 50% and by inhibiting the deposition of strontium. It is suggested by Borneman that phosphates are a direct poison to calcification.
RowaPhos is a unique and patented, man made ferric hydroxide material chemically engineered for the efficient removal of phosphates, arsenic and silicates from fresh and salt water, having initially been developed in Germany for treating mains water supplies. RowaPhos should not be confused with natural materials, which are generally based on aluminium oxide, (zeolite) or even other iron based products which claim to be the same product from other manufacturers. RowaPhos has the largest absorption ability of any phosphate product worldwide and will not leach back in to the water. This saves the need for immediate removal once the media is exhausted. The product is easy to use and will improve the water quality wherever Phosphate or Silicate is a problem. It is of interest to Marine and Reef Aquariums where its unrivalled capabilities have shown it to be extremely beneficial in the control of nuisance algae’s and the growth of hard corals.
Constant use of the product is recommended, as its abilities to control nuisance algae is a major benefit. In an independent series of tests carried out by the Berlin Technical University on the five most commonly used phosphate removers at that time, RowaPhos was found to be the most efficient in removing phosphate from water. Other medias tested reached only to 30 – 40 % of its removal capacity by weight. Additionally RowaPhos was found to continue to remove phosphates at lower concentrations and had a higher maximum holding capacity.
