I have a 73 gallon FOWLR and have been running a reactor with phosguard and a bag of chemi pure elite in a filter sock. I’ve found that using both the phosguard and chemi pure strips my water of all nitrates and phosphates which leads to dinos/algae etc. Should I stop running phosguard and put the chemi pure bag in the reactor? Or leave the chemi pure in the filter sock and try another reactor media? Tank is stocked with ribbon eel, valentini puffer, radiata lion (will be moving soon), plesiops betta and dusky jawfish. Skimmer is a reef octopus 110 and there is a 25 watt uv sterilizer. Thanks

A few thought. On a fowlr tank I would not be too concerned with No3 and Po4 other than for algae control. Running chemi elite and phosguard are also overlapping since elite includes media for phosphate.
My thought would be just chemipure in the bag and skimmer should be sufficient. On my fowlr I never ran anything other than carbon.

I started using the phosguard because of a hair algae problem I had a while back, but now that that’s over with I think I’ll take your advice and just stick with the chemi pure in a sock. Thanks!
