What's everyone running for phos control

[Bdial]

What is everyone running for their phosphate control. I have a good bit of algae id like to start getting rid of. Not sure what my level is as I haven't tested it in I don't know how long. I was using phosguard but I ran out. Now I'm thinking of setting up a gfo reactor but I was curious. What's everyone else doing.

I use a Hanna Checker ULR phosphate tester and BRS GFO in a BRS reactor. Don't use GFO if your not testing phosphate striping all phosphates can be harmful to corals. I also use Red Sea NOPOX, it works really well.

I wasn't planning on running a full or recommended amount. I know my po4 is elevated due to my algae growth. I need some help lowering it. I was thinking about running a little bit of gfo in a reactor with some carbon.

I run biopellets for nitrates and rowaphos in a canister. Water change every 3-4 months. And tank has been on cruise control. Only do water changes to get the detritus and putting some of the missing elements back in

I do not use GFO in my tank. Instead, I use a proprietary product called Tropic Marin NP-Bacto balance that keeps nitrates and phosphates in check and in proportion to each other.

Gfo and Carbon mixed in one reactor

GFO in a media bag. I've learned the hard way that a GFO reactor is too efficient for my system. I also grow macro algae.
