Brett, I stopped using GFO back in the spring of - I think - 2016, and haven't looked back.
No GFO, no carbon. I dosed some liquid NO3 and PO4 for a month or so to balance stuff, then stopped using reactors for both. Using GFO is like adding iron to your system - algae fuel. I currently, and for the last 3 years, use nothing to combat nutrients. I keep liquid NO3 and PO4 on hand just in case, but have used neither since Spring 2016. My tank is a bit low on nutrients as I don't have enough fish, but my corals are doing OK. Current params are; Alk 8.3 Ca 420 Mag 1350 K 400 NO3 0 could be higher PO4 0.013 could be higher I really need more fish to feed my corals Last edited by gregzz4; 02-14-2019 at 04:44 AM. |
