I use the Foz Down myself in my acro system. I used to use HC GFO but it got expensive quick. Foz Down is a very cost effective alternative to GFO. Some people choose to remove it with mechanical filtration but I personally don't worry about it. Into the overflow it goes and bye bye Phosphate.

Shelley I wish there was something like Foz Down for Nitrate but I haven't found it yet. ;-)

Cheers,
Tim

Yep, bye bye PITA GFO reactor.

One other "best thing I did for the system" was get rid of the Ca Reactor. Too finicky and too much maintenance.
