Hi,
i am currently running a dual reactor w/ GFO ( granulated ferric oxide)and GAC ( granulated activated carbon)... i am just contemplating wether i am going to continue doing so... my tank has been up for a little over 4 years and i have been running the reactor for the last 3... i have slipped a couple of times on the proper switching out of both, the GAC and GFO, and have noticed no real change in the tank... i, by no means have a pristine, algae free tank, but i do not mind the algae that i have.. my mandarin loves to hunt on the rocks where it is because from what i have been observing, copepods in my DT are thriving in it... plus my tuxedo urchin ( which i can't believe i forgot to mention in my tank description)!), ring cowrys and starry blenny like it too...
I am just looking to hear what other people are doing in regards to running GAC and GFO
thanks!!
