Is RowaPhos a GFO????

So you can reuse the BRS GFO? I though Rowaphos got used up over time and you had to replace it?

I think he's talking about the rinsing before you actually put it to use in your tank, which should also be done with carbon.

Oh, thanks (and to true, RowaPhos is a mess)

Thanks everyone, I think I will try the HC BRS GFO! (acronym city!!!)

I've never heard of reusing Gfo and it's such a mess after a month as well lol. Yeah I was referring to the initial rinse. You lose half the rowa down the drain when rinsing. Both types of brs are more uniform in shape.
