I just closed down my reef and since I have a gallon of gfo and my reactor, I thought about running it to keep down the phosphates. Anyone out there do this? Will the freshwater cause it to leach metal or cause any other issues. Hate to throw a gallon of gfo away.

Unless you have high phosphates from your tap then I don't see it being at all necessary. It's not as threatening to freshwater as it is to a reef setup. Sell it on craigslist
