Gfo in media bag

[Jl330]

Check out my reply immediately below your reply quoted here.

A big part of the effectiveness of GFO (or any media) is the amount of water flowing through it and exposure of media to water. Getting more water through media makes it more effective/efficient.

Putting a sense media in a bag in a high flow area is better than putting it in a low flow area. But even then, water is going to want to go around it rather than through it. Absent a fluidized reactor, you need to find a way to force the water to be exposed to not just the media, but all the media.

Can you send me a picture of what you're talking about doing? I'd like to give this a try.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to go the chemical route to strip it down and use gfo to maintain.

I'm already heavy skimming and attempting to grow cheato.
