Good day everyone
Out of curiosity i will let most of you decide for me.
What do you use in your system
GFO or
HC GFO
Which product do you prefer the most compare quality and price range difference.
Reason for asking,I am not sure if i should carry both
GFO(AS I ALWAYS AM INTERESTED IN ONLY CARRYING THE PUREST PRODUCT AVAILABLE) or go with what most people prefer the most.
Any input would be most appreciated and its for our reefs.
Things I know from the manufacturer point of view.
GFO
-GFO pellet form has a little dust
-Tends to break easily by tumbling in time.
-Has a great surface area for phosphate removal
-Light weight per volume of pellet
-Light color
-No future manufacturing (a roomer)
HC GFO
-More dense than GFO
-Removes twice the phosphates as GFO
-Tumbles in the reactor with no clumping and breaking
-Pricier
-Darker coloration
-Twice the surface area
-Available with regeneration recipe
There are other GFO out there being sold to aquarists that turns into mud,with very low surface area,high priced, labeled as high quality and is low in ferric oxide as its mined from a poorer areas (as i am a distributor for other products (chemicals) we always receive stock consumer and distributor reports on manufacturers.
