GFO is doing a good job for me I'm just looking at ways to minimize maintenance. One less media to replace every 2 weeks would be nice. As soon as I exhaust the 30 lbs of HC GFO I just bought I'm going to take the stuff for a test drive.

I put some dried live rock that was given to me into my 50 gal when I started it. When I bought my po4 testkit 3 weeks later I was at 5ppm. I started doing 20 percent wc twice a week and quickly got it down to .9 ppm. Gfo diddnt do much for me. Algea scrubber built from anaquaclear 500 helped alot.foz down brought it down very fast. Tank looked like a snow globe. That was about six weeks ago. Now phosphate leaches from the rocks at about .1ppm every couple of days. Foz down will drop it to zero in an hour. Hair algea is dying and phosphate is leaching less and less.

 I am trying the new HC GFO at the moment. Do you find your skimmate is quite dark now? Some have suggested I may have it tumbling to much but I have it moving very gently. How are you liking it
