Saltfishlover Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Does anyone use these much anymore? If so, what media do you use and how long do you run it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titus'reef Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I have a BRS reactor or 2. Pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 GFO (granulated ferric oxide) is what people typically run. My take is that GFO reactors are flawed on soo many levels that adding lanthanum chloride is a much better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing many people don't realize is that while GFO reduces phosphate, it also causes a drop in your alkalinity. Look at this graph from my Trident back when I used to use GFO. As soon as I replaced the GFO in the reactor, alk took a dive. Not great if you're striving for stability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
