Yes, The GFO consumption rate is dependant on water flow through the reactor. For my 45g, I fill the TLF reactor 1/3 with GFO, Rowa, whatever, and 1/3rd Carbon. seems to last 4-6 weeks for me. But then, no SPS in this tank so not sure on the SPS effects.

Many of my SPS seemed to improve in color once i began running it, blue coloring emerged from acropora that looked mostly brown before. I went from a phosphate reading of .75 to .01 (Elos test kit) with rowaphos, 40gal weekly water changes, a skimmer rated for nearly twice my system volume, and straining frozen food of packing juice.
