and again, sorry for Hi-jacking your thread Grizz

Personally I don't think you need another reactor, remove the phos remover and use that reactor for the pellets. I personally haven't had any issues with phosphates, so I haven't run anything to do with it. I did have algae, hair algae and others, but running pellets did destroy all that.

Not sure if running Rowa or any other phos remover is beneficial with Pellets, can anyone else pipe in and give any info on running the 2 in the same tank?

I dont test as much as I should but i pulled the gfo when i started pellets too.

everything looks better. I do sometimes get diatoms or cyano still<major problem for me before> but after i put the gfo back in this happens less often.

Probably learning beter housekeeping along the path to get my sps frags to do more than just sit there while all the lps and fish are happy as hell.

I also took my GFO reactor off, I think you need both phosphate and nitrate to make pellets work well
