Best GFO???

[faze07hd]

I Just got a TLF phosban reactor and im interested in what everyone has had success with. I was kind of thinking to Rowa-phos, but im open to any suggestions.

I have a Phosban reactor and use Phosban on a 125 Reef with fish, LPS, SPS,etc. for the past 14 months and I have zero PO4 and have been checking it regularly with Salifert kits. I just changed the media after about 14 months, probably exhausted.

+4 Just started using it...water is crystal clear. Algae already packing up and leaving. Do consider halving the dosage to avoid shock though as I have a once solid and very healthy Frogspawn bleaching since I added the reactor and GFO.

what type of water flow does the high capacity stuff from BRS need? slow like rowaphs?

 

[faze07hd]

good question... im uneducated to the BRS Gfo too

 

[racingrich]

I am thinking about purchasing the reactors from bulkreefsupply and what I would like to know if anyone is using the dual set up for GFO and carbon. They say it's better to do two single reactors over the dual. I have had a algae problem for a very long time and I have been able to control it with vodka. The problem that I have is sometimes the lps coral does not like it, will the gfo give me the same problem? If I order a reactor for the gfo and carbon how much of each do I need to order to start out.
Thanks Rich

Well carbon and GFO use different water flow. So running them together wouldnt be a great idea.

I used two tlf phosban reactor with minjet pumps. Works really well.

I would like to get a group order going for BRS; so far I know of 7 people that are willing to order.

 

[luther1200]

I run BRS HC GFO and BRS ROX carbon to gether in a TLF reactor. I just add another sponge and put the carbon on top. Like 2 layers, I don't let them mix together. I have been doing this for about 3 months and haven't had any problems. The BRS HC GFO and the ROX carbon are about the same size so it works out very well. I don't think it would work as well with some of the larger carbon out there.

back to my question...

What kind of flow does the BRS GFO require? slow, like rowa-phos?

 

[racingrich]

They have a nice video on bulkreefsupply on the flow

 

[detroit_fan]

how often are you guys changing the hi cap gfo? also, what amount are you using per gal?

I use their regular gfo, but never the hi cap, is there a big difference in performance and longevity?

 

[stanlalee]

all of them are going to reduce phosphates. HC may work twice as well using the same amount of the product (which I doubt despite the claims) but cost significantly more then plain jane so I just get whatever and use the amount it takes which is ALWAYS way less than a 4th of my reactors capacity. I'm in search for the LEAST DUSTY GFO which is far more important to me then any performance difference.
