Do you use GFO?
I'm actually wondering more who doesn't use GFO. For those who don't know, GFO is granular ferric oxide used to absorb phosphates. Brand names such as RowaPhos, PuraPhos, PhosBan, etc. I'm referring only to the RUST RED stuff, not the white stuff.
Multiple choice if needed...somehow. Dangit, I screwed up...meant to have the YES options asking how you run it, REACTOR, in a FILTER (like an HOB power filter), or PASSIVELY (in a bag in the sump say). Please comment.  I run mine 24/7 in a reactor. Last edited by Myka; 05-08-2009 at 06:58 AM.

Yes, In a Reactor. But I usually lack in changing it. Maybe every 3-4 mos. Thx for reminding me, I should change it tonight.
