    What does every body use? I need to get some tomorrow and get it in my New 75gal setup. I have a two little fish reactor and working great, but need some Phosphate removing media.
    Any suggestions for now and future?
    Thanks

    I am using Bulk Reef Supply high capacity GFO now. I was using the pellets, but they stopped carrying them

    I use Phoslock and I have used the stuff on Bulk Reef as well. Never tried the high capacity stuff, so all I can say is the stuff from bulk reef is less dusty.

    I've run BRS pellets and high capacity GFO and have been pleased with both. It's too bad BRS quit carrying the pelletized GFO because it was a little more economic per amount phosphate removed. In my experience, the new style canister was less forgiving to high flow with the pellets--I had cloudy water until I had it adjusted properly. I haven't tried the new canister for high capacity GFO yet, but I think it will work better than the old stle canister.

    I use Drtim's np active pearls. They're made right here in Iowa and biodegrade over time. So, you don't have to replace them, just add more.

    I use BRS's High Capacity GFO and absolutely love it! My tank has large fluctuations when it's exhausted (I feed heavy) and within 12 hrs the test result is 1/2 and in 24 hrs, test results at 0 (Hanna checker).

    I like brs people too.  I have not tried there media but I have one of there deluxe water systems ro/di.   I personally use chem pure elite in my nanos but then again im fairly new.  I kinda like purigen too.. it makes the water crystal clear and can be recharged or reused with 1:1 bleach solution....

    I have a Two little fish Reactor and need something that works with it. I am using something now I am not liking very well. Back to drawing board..
