Plus now you don't pay duty from them on any order so you are getting a really good deal from them.
I have the same reactor, and use the same pump. I used to use RowaPhos, but I switched to same HC GFO from BRS as MArk uses. I also like it quite a lot. I think it compares very well with the RowaPhos. The HC GFO from BRS is heavier than most GFOs (inc Rowa), so you can turn it the flow up a bit higher, but you get the best adsorbtion at about 50-75 gph, so you have to throttle that MJ400 back quite a bit with a ball valve so that the top of the media just barely "boils".
