I run a triple reactor, and the GFO is in the last one in the series, so the flow is not very strong. As a result I get no tumbling. However, I know my GFO works very well, as it quickly reduces my P04 to zero when I change it.

It usually lasts about a month (even much longer sometimes), and the clue to change it is when my P04 tests start to climb above zero.

I use the LR Hanna Phosphate checker, and it is much more accurate (measures in 2 decimal places) than other test kits that I have used prior. They would show zero long before the Hanna.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
