Gfo

two possibl ways. If you have a simple hang on back filter some and has a large enough chamber you can put some in a media bag and drop it in. I have an aquaclear filter that I put a small bag of Chemipure Blue in it It has a GFO in the bag. Another way but a bit more bulky is run a reactor where the pump is on the inside of your tank and run a line to a reactor that hangs on back and the inlet line back into tank. Phosban reactor hangs on tank but I am sure others do as well

gfo requires a slow tumble or it will become solid and not absorb the phosphates.
 
True but mixed with carbon it stays seperated enough. Check out Chemi-pure Elite or the new Chemi -pure Blue as an example. See description from website below. It comes already in a bag ready to drop in. It worked wonders in by 16 gallon nano. Also heard of people putting regular GFO in a media bag mixed with carbonand putting in high low areas of sumps. Yes it will clump but is an alternative.

Do you work for chemical pure or is this straight off the label?
If a 1 product takes care of all of that..... it's to good to be true.
 
I stated above it was quote from their website. I never said it was a miracle product just was an alternative that worked for me in my situation and just trying to help a fellow reefer. I have two tanks one 70 gallon that runs a Phosban reactor and my smaller nano which I needed to find an alternative. There are more than one way to skin a cat and was I completely open minded to try a different approach and worked. Enjoy your weekend
 
I am trying to wrap my head around this. I obviously do not use Chemipure, I didn't know they would put gfo in it. I used 4 cups of gfo/ month. I would think the gfo in one of those Chemipure bags would be fully saturated after 2 to 3 days.
On a side note, I don't think gfo is the cure all for our phosphates. If you choose to go down this route, watch your corals and don't use it with clams.
