Running GFO and Bio Pellets?

[ScubaSteve]

In theory you aren't supposed to run a phosphate remover while doing probiotic nutrient removal because you may make phosphates a limiting species and thus brig the probiotic system to a halt. However, most people find that bacteria based nutrient systems don't really cut it for phosphate removal, so they run GFO or rowaphos.

I'm running Rowaphos and will be starting vodka dosing at the end of this month.

It's pretty hard to phosphate limit the bacteria. I run a small amount of GFO with bio-pellets as a safety net and have no problem...still zero nitrate.
