rowaphos or GFO
ok so i run rowaphos on my system and was thinking of running GFO instead, because it is cheaper and less harmful to the corals from what i been reading, so which do you guys use and why? pros and cons of the current product would be a great help to me

aluminum oxide does leach back into system.
GFO and rowasphos are all base on one thing. rust how to make GFO

I had a big success with rowaphos when my tank had a big problem with phosphate and we're talking about different type of algae bloom (cyano, brown diatoms, hair algae, and bubble)
And everything disappeared within 2-3 weeks use of rowaphos and activated carbon mixed in a TLF reactor. I see some coral growth too

I used it a while back when I first started all I can say is it works but takes longer to get best result( I do 20% weekly water change to get some of the problems out)
And I've read it leaches some aluminum if you don't use it right

Rowaphos and GFO strip water at different rates I'll try to find something to back this up, but GFO strips water faster And there are reports that Rowa may leach back to the system when GFO does not GFO is a much cheaper route in the longterm and does the job better than Rowa when you calculate dollars ...
