Same amount of gfo that i would keep in bag in sump-not in media reactor as of yesterday

Would always run phosphates of .18-.28ppm

Using hanna ulr phosphate checker

Tested today and said .05

Want to be cautious about not bottoming out and causing even more problems-figured i would retest again in am to check

I would remove the bag until at least I had retested to avoid going to zero.

I have had similar experiences with gfo so I try not too use it anymore
