Best GFO media??

[BaileyB]

Never used GFO before, but I’ve been struggling with high phosphates for months now and my refugium isn’t keeping up, heard some media is just crap and want to know what everyone is using? Thanks!!

Rowa is really good

 

[BaileyB]

Anyone else?

There’s other ways you can reduce your phosphates without using chemical media’s

How big is the tank? What filtration are you currently using? Also what are the inhabitants

Roughly 120g total, yellow tang, maroon clown, diamond goby, YWG, cleaner shrimp! I have a refugium that grows chaeto and another red macro but eventually they get covered in hair algae.. I’ve done a 100% water change and only lowered then by a tiny bit.. very frustrating!

I am using BRS and Premium Aquatics. There are 2 kinds and I use the high capacity but I have a big system (400G)

I heard the BRS media is so fine it’s like dust, is that the case?

I have some of the BRS media and it's not super fine. It did take a while to rinse, but after that good rinse, I didnt have any dust coming out of the reactor output line.

What I have got has been fine. I put it in the reactor and it rinses clean pretty quick. I just changed it the day before yesterday. I use 2.75 cups at a time.
