Why did you pick that Brightwell product over the GFO you already had?

Lfs said gfo may be to aggressive and brightwell is great for maintaining once you get the phosphates down using rowaphos in my canister.

Don’t shoot the messenger

Yes, you can increase your dose, slowly, maybe 2ml increases weekly. Make sure skimmer is pulling, it will drop.
Iam dosing 20ml per day, on the hour, but I’m 180g.

OK, I won't, but I don't agree.

GFO is only aggressive if you use too much, and while Brightwell sometimes doesn't understand their products, they do claim it is more potent than other binders.

I have heard that about brightwell products and will tread lightly. I plan on using only a few cubes at a time but may just run rowaphos at all times if i can prevent me using a gfo reactor. Just another thing to add and worry about.
