Here are my results from icp test, some small detectable levels of Aluminum, so i went ahead and ordered Rowaphos what triton recommended. Ive used GFO from BRS but reading to many horror stories, i feel like im to much of a chicken to run it the way i should. I do not want to strip everything.

I am also in the process of switching from fritz salt to redsea blue bucket since ive been getting to many different readings of Alk,Cal, Mag and importantly the residue it leaves behind in my brute is disgusting that i need to wipe down the brute everytime afterwards. I do religious 30gal water changes every 2 weeks.

I also have incredible high amounts of phosphate, which i believe is the reason i cant grow SPS. Hopefully i can fix this soon.

This is a 125gal with mostly softies,but some LPS, with 3 fat tangs, 2 wrasses and 1 baby emperor angel. Using BRS 2part of alk and cal. No Algae issues of any kind, testing controlled by trident, and i just placed an order for more phosphate reagent for my hanna.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Not sure what concerns you have about BRS GFO they don’t also apply to Rowaphos, which is which is just a different brand of gfo.

That amount of Al is probably not an issue.

I just dont want to overdue it to much since i am very inconsistent with my testing schedule. I use about a cup of GFO for 125gallons of water. Maybe i should do about more? I

That’s a reasonable amount, IMO.
