Could be the gfo discolouring it, try running it with the carbon before the gfo

This why it's better to use a separate reactor because it's hard to control your gfo's tumble when both are in the same reactor, is your carbon garbage ya I would put in new. Good luck. :wink:

Come to abbotsford,
Bring frags,
Pick up the tank,
Bring more frags,
Pick up my spare phosban 150 reactor
