To fuge or not to fuge?

[Proteus]

I also use prodibio and though I would use a fuge with cheato. Within a week the cheato was falling apart. The fuge quickly became filled with rubble

IME prodi bio has been best on its own. I used to use gfo but pulled it. I saw a small po4 jump for a week then bacteria levels balanced out. I clean glass once a week if I'm board but def not required. In turn I filled reactor with hydroton for a little more bacterial filtration
