I posted a few weeks ago about a reddish clay looking substance prematurely filling my filter socks and skimmer (re-posting some of those pics). @FurrierTransform mentioned it could be the GFO causing it. I turned off my GFO for the last couple of weeks and sure enough, it went away. However, I would like to be able to use my GFO reactor without the sludge. Any tips on how to eliminate the re-brown sludge?
I have been using Kolar GFO but have a new bottle of BRS waiting to be used (both brands are the high capacity version). Not sure if the brand has anything to do with it or not.
Also, I have the flow from my Sicce pump turned on just enough to make it lightly tumble so I don't think it is grinding it to pulp.
Thanks for any suggestions.
