FOLKS SAID (( Never Use GFO.....BAD BAD ))) It was the Best thing I ever did (if used properly)
I used GFO for Years, on and off in my Early Tank Years. Did nothing special for me. Bought some, ran out, stopped, bought more. (VERY SPORATIC)....My LPS,mixed tank with NO SPS didn't really care.
When I got into SPS, it was told that GFO was a bad thing. Could caused P swings, and that part was True (becuase I didn't use it right).
Then a few months ago.....A store owner with Spectacular SPS told me how he uses GFO.
Consistantly. Small Amounts, replaced every two weeks to keep P under Control (AND STABLE).
I got into that routine. Took a while to get P down, and then when it reached my target I got it stable (Less GFO, but just as consistant)
That helped with SPS happiness, and less Annoying Algae.
I'm now Hooked on GFO and worry when I'm going to run out. ( I do have an ATS but that;s for fine tuning N&P together)
