Looking for advice on GFO Media Reactors

[ReefOC]

I've been testing for Phosphates, which have been higher than supposed to be (.18 last weekend and .12 this weekend). I have significantly reduced feeding pellet foods. Would you suggest a GFO reactor to further reduce phosphates? If so, which media reactor would you recommend? I have the RedSea 750XXL (200 gallon with Sump). Only running chaeto and Protein Skimmer in Sump besides filter socks. Thoughts?

The phosphate isn’t that high yet. You have time to ease into tweaking PO4 level.

There really are few wrong answers on the reactor front. You just need something that is an up flow style reactor with enough gph to allow the GFI to slightly tumble so it doesn't turn into a brick.

I happen to have the BRS reactor right now, but have also used TLD PhosBan reactors in the past as well as a couple others.
