Hello,
I am currently running Clearmax, appears to be GFO as its a rusty brown color but described as resin that removes phosphates, nitrates, and nitrites, in my Fluval 305 canister filter. I was wondering if it would be worth my time to upgrade to a reactor for running GFO? I am now growing Acroporas and know they hate ANY phosphates. I am also growing chaeto in the DT (its growing well). My tank is a 20g and each box comes with 3-100g baggies. I usually just use one since my tank is so small.
Would I be better off using Phosban and a phosphate reactor? Or would I be better off sticking with this clearmax stuff and using all three at once?
I am assuming the reactor would be more efficient, but suspect that the increase wouldnt be worth the increase in money.
