Using reef flux - do I remove chemi pure elite?

[katsreef]

I am about to dose reef flux to battle bryopsis in my 20g aio tank. I only run chemipure elite and filter floss. Do I remove the chemipure elite? Reef flux bottle says GFOs can stay in but I thought chemi pure elite was a GFO and partially carbon?

Flux may or may not help
With bryopsis, the key is to remove the roots after pulling what you can by hand. As long as there are roots, it will keep coming back. Best removal is with use of a dental pick or small crochet needle and outside the tank in a container of tank water
After clean up, add a few astrea snails, pitho crabs, urchin and female emerald crabs which I don’t trust

I’ll be manually removing as the reef flux goes through the stages. I did just get an emerald crab. My urchin doesn’t touch this stuff! Should I be removing my chemipure elite while using reef flux?

The gfo in elite May reduce effectiveness. Remove for now
Urchin won’t eat it but will eat remnants after clean up

Reef flux always worked for me

To answer the question, yes. Chemipure elite has carbon, therefore it should be removed. GFO shouldn't impact it if I remember correctly when I made a post on here asking if GFO removes fluconazole
