Day 6, tank = 0.12, reactor = 0.12. Looks like I'm replacing the GFO weekly at least to start with!

 I know this is was one of the slowest builds ever (and the record probably still holds) but there's been water in the tank since .. um .. late 2010 or thereabouts.

Ah, mostly I was confused on the difference of using reduced amounts of GFO or not. Been using much less than the recommended amount at first but since the reactor outputs 0 anyhow. So I'm unclear of what's the point of adding more gfo at a time down the road, since the capacity to reduce PO4 can't really be any better than it is - except that "more gfo" should also mean "replace less often" .. but I'm kind of thinking it works out the same either way? Is the difference of 1 cup in the reactor, and 2 cups in the reactor .. the same as the difference of "replace every week" or "replace every 2 weeks"? Sorry I'm not a very good communicator so I have no idea if this makes sense or not.
