It's not going to work running them like that.I run gfo and carbon in the same reactor and dose kalk in my ato.. I didn't cure my dry rock but the tank is only 5 months old..
GFO must tumble in it's own reactor or it hardens.
Carbon must be packed tight. It's too soft to tumble and will break down into small fines that could lead to HLLE.
My best advise: Is the buy a media reactor. Buy some Rowaphos GFO and start tumbling it. Start at about 1/4 to 1/2 of full dose so you don't bleach the corals.
Tumble GFO could help the leaching from goodies that are bound up in that dry rock.
A black out wont fix non cleaned or cured dry rock. The hair algae will just come back.
