Do I need more lighting?

I do want to add if you don't have a way to test Phosphates down to the hundredths, you need to get one. Otherwise you are running a phosphate reduced blindly.

Guess I need to order a Hannah, I'm trying to figure out how to get the gfo stuff from gmoney now. Between my work and kids and wife with the flu my time is next to nothing.
 
Well I got the reactor from gmoney I'm running GFO now, just started last night. I have not had any time to put it in.

I wouldn't run the full amount of GFO to begin with. Changing water parameters, even the bad things, too quickly can have negative side affects. I would start with a half of the recommended amount. And don't forget to change it out, it will release the phosphates back into the tank once it's been exhausted.
 
Yea I used less than half to start with..j hoping this helps. Working on getting some retro stuff just to add some T5's to my MH's
