My tank right at 11 yrs old. I just started using Chemipure elite. I have an bryopsis out break. I have no measurable NO3 and PO4 before using. Thought this would help. But it isn’t. .
To run gfo in my tlf 150, do i need the foam pads?
What is your schedule for UV? 24/7? And how many Watt is it? ThanksI use nopox and supplemented with GFO for the first 9 months. Now just nopox. Hanna ULR median is about .04 ppm. The added GFO drove PO4 to zero which I didn't really want. Lots of snails, one yellow tang and UV. No visible algae.
Only using regular GFO from BRS, just 2&1/2cups for 50gal, approximately 1/2cup per 10gal.
Have Salifert PO4 test kit to determine levels every week, the only time I turn on the valve for my GFO reactor is when PO4 level goes 0.25ppm and turned off when level goes down 0.03ppm. So that makes two tests per week.
Still haven’t changed the load for 4months now but still able to reduce PO4 to acceptable levels within 24hrs.
One good determinant for good water condition are Euphillia corals that I keep, does the job.
No issues about stagnant water with the turning on and off once a week.
Well, after the tank water passes through the GFO reactor, it goes through a second reactor where I have a bag of Purigen. I guess that addresses your concern.
I don't think Purigen absorbs hydrogen sulfide, so I'd still do the smell test.
