What alternatives can I use that produce the same results as chemipure elite? I find I need to replace the bad every 3-6 months and it's expensive. Is a cheaper / easier / more efficient way? I run NUVO aquariums

Water change?

What about one of IM's reactors? Will it fit? Also check on the CPR nano or mini reactors. Then you could just run bulk media

I think they will fit, but I feel like a reactor might be over kill for me. I run a LPS dominated tank do you think they will suffer if I skim wet and run a reactor?

Then just skip it. Just do water changes. If you ever have a need for carbon just put it in a bag. Same goes for GFO.
