I run two reactors, one with carbon and one with GFO. I ran out of GFO a little while ago and haven't got around to getting more. I was thinking of putting zeovit rocks in one of my reactors. Is anyone else doing that? I asked a LFS what the zeo rocks take out of the water and his answer was - everything.

I have the red stuff, it's in a reactor, but I turned off the pump feeding it. Guess I chose not to
It's not recomended with Zeo, I'm told...

I'm the same, running Zeovit so not anymore.I'm surprised to see people go more than 2 months before changing.

I used to but now that I am running FM Ultralith I no longer need to. I used to use RowaPhos 24/7 in a reactor changed every 6 weeks but could not keep my phosphates below 0.06 ppm. Now I get 0.00 ppm phosphate. It's one of the things that I'm really happy about with the FM program. The reduction in algae of all kinds has been great.

So I am "No, I choose not to"
