GFO Reactor

[jkreefer]

Does anyone have a GFO Reactor and some GFO I could buy or borrow from them? Have some green slime algae and ive been trying to battle it by doing water changes every 3 days, feeding only every other day, and vacuuming everything i can get to everytime I do a waterchange and still keeps coming back. I have more flow than I know what to do with, so I'm really baffled at why this is happening. :headwally:

what's your mag Jeff?

Sometime it's as simple as dosing kalk to get rid of algea

 

[jkreefer]

Honestly I'm not sure. I don't have a test kit to test it.

Looks like I'm going to be DIY'ing my self a kalk reactor because I can't stand this stuff.

Kalk will precipitate phosphate so you can use kalk for a while and your tank will gradually clear up.
