gfo

Looking mainly for Aquamaxx reactor but open to others.

I was watching this video with @Lou Ekus; he says he personally doesn't like seeing people running GFO 24/7. What are the observed (rather than theoretical) drawbacks with the long term use of GFO? Obviously, a sudden drop in PO4 will cause issues, but this is not what we're talking about. What...

Not much used. Actual weight after use is 5lbs and 16oz. Asking $120 with free shipping.

Turns out I won't be needing GFO on this tank, so I'm selling an almost full 4lb container of BRS bulk GFO (3lbs, 11 ounces). Asking $40 locally, or $55 shipped* * I'm 90% confident the original container will fit in the medium flat rate box, but if it doesn't, I'll have to repackage in a...

So I just upgraded to a JBJ 65, and in the market for a media reactor to run GFO. I currently have an IM Minimax Desktop reactor, and find that it's a bit loud and ineffective. What are some low profile/quiet reactors that wouldn't need to be run in a sump? I've been looking at the Aquamaxx...

New to reefing—I bought used reef tank with livestock. I’ve had if for about 3 weeks and have a question on this brown algae. When we moved the tank it had a phos spike to 0.4, and started getting brown algae. I got a phos reactor with GFO running and have since brought the levels down from...

This is obviously my opinion but works great for me and I would recommend this setup to anyone. I’m using a Fluval 50 but I feel like this can work in any HOB filter. The media need is: • Cheato •Filter floss •Poly filter pad •GFO/ chemi pure blue nano •LOTS of bio blocks/pellets/spheres This...

Hi folks, So I have been dosing Lanthanum from ATM agent green. At first I was dosing 2 mls per day, now I am up to 12 mls per day, to maintain phosophates where I want them. I think it is throwing my alk out of whack too. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to rectify the...

Alright, where to to begin. I have had a 80 gallon with a 30 gallon sump tank running for almost a year and a half after a restart. I got dry rock and dry sand, which is a mistake on my part, and I am on a fun roller coaster right now. Around 5 months into my restart things were going okay...

How to Control Phosphate Using Hanna Phosphate Checkers and GFO Media PLUS: New gear from GHL, Eheim, Coral Essentials, and Brightwell Aquatics!

Do you put this stuff in a media reactor like you do with bio pellets? Or just in bag? Thanks

My phosphate level (with Hanna UL checker is running in the 0.1 level. I would like to drop it to below this as recommended. I have been feeding less in general (mysis in the PM and pellets in the AM) and have about 8 fish, none bigger than about 2 inches in a 100 gallon with about 20 gal...

I don't know about you but i am tired of cutting filter pads for AIO media baskets. I recently purchased the Purity Pack from Innovative Marine and i love it! Re-usable, Re-washable and to be honest last longer and picks up more particles from the water. Let's hear your experiences and share how...

How long can GFO run before it is depleted? One month? two months? forever as long as the phosphates do not rise? When do I know when the GFO is depleted? Can one Run GFO to long besides stripping the phosphates out of the system? How much do you run in your system? It would be great to...

For a Low nutrient system, should we use media reactor like GFO, Biopellet? I just want to collect everyone opinion.

I've read online that you should never run gfo with Sps corals in your system. Apparently corals will lose colors. How true is this? I currently run a refugium, carbon dose vinegar, and run phosguard but it gets exhausted very quickly. I feed my corals reef roids every other day. Looking for...

Check out the new video Keith Behrle produced. The video covers PX-Pro and the GFO regeneration media; PX-R and the results he observed. The products are listed here on our site along with the video. http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/shop-by-brand/reef-interests.html and on our You Tube...

So I heard GFO bag like this can strip Po4? What if I use this in conjunction with active carbon dosing, the likes of No3Po4x? OK or BAD idea?

I have 3 vertex 1.5 reactors new never seen water in original box 100.00 each.

Have some BRS 2 canister setups for carbon and gfo. The gfo sat in the canisters after the tank was down. Short of scraping is there a way to chemicaly clean the brown scum that is on the canisters? Thanks

Simple question: What chemical filter media are you running? I am currently running NONE in my tank, have run a reactor in the past with carbon & GFO, but found it a hassle. Have run purigen as well. Looking forward to the answers!

40G breeder tank with approximately 35G of water. Tank is bare bottom, with frags predominantly Zoa. 1/20th of tank volume is rock and sand in seperate section, along with cheato the size of two softballs, also in a seperate section. Tunze 9004 skimmer, and AquaClear 20. GFO material was...

I have always run GFO and had very good success with it. Recently I have been running a very large triton style refugium with the Kessil refugium light. I have 0 detectable nitrates or phosphates with this, and I recently stopped changing my GFO. I still have 0 detectable phosphates with a...

I recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 350. I have been looking at different pluming styles and finally narrow it down to one. So for this setup I need 3 reactors, the two that I am looking at are BRS Dual Reactors or the AquaMaxx Reactors. This brings me to my question, "are GFO and Carbon Media...
