    Quick question

    WHAT A HEADACHE...stupid calcium reactor...please read

    Gfo tumble

    There are definitely a few problems with your GFO usage so far Too much flow, but at the same time not enough flow throughout...you need to really clean the sponges in your phosban reactor to get somewhat even flow throughout.

    Chaeto or Algae Scrubber?

    IME algae scrubbers need to be very large be effective. Chaeto is the way to go, if you can afford to spend the extra $$ for the refugium use miracle mud instead of fine sand. you only need about an inch of miracle mud vs several inches of fine sand for de-nitrifying bacteria. Saves lots of...
