So, you're advocating using roughly 50mls of GFO in my 105 system, instead of the BRS recommended 225mls ? ( For my tank they recommend 0.86 cups )
Your ammount equates to;
105/30=3.5 Tbsp
3.5x15mls(Tbsp)=52.5mls
I get all the hype about selling product and such, and some may not change their media when they should, but that's a
big difference
I'm asking as I'm considering your recommendation for 3 reasons;
1 - I have GHA that I suspect is living off the iron from the GFO
2 - My corals have become 'too green' after the last GFO I bought
3 - I'm looking to cut costs
I'm also considering cutting GFO out of my tank's diet altogether as it's getting old enough now
