Bulk Reef Supply 1/2 Gallon (3.5 lbs) - BRS Bulk GFO - High Capacity

Description

Various tangs, lawn mower blennies, crabs and snails are all good options. Special note on fighting existing algae problems: Algae needs three main nutrients to grow: phosphate, nitrate and light. Maintaining these ultra low levels will help prevent algae outbreaks as well as treat existing algae issues. Phosphate inhibits proper coral growth by incorporating itself into the corals skeletal structure which makes it difficult for the coral to grow by laying down additional calcium and carbonate (alkalinity) ions. GFO is most commonly used in a media reactor like the BRS reactor or media bag. High Capacity GFO is twice as dense as Granular GFO, so twice as much material will fit into a reactor. Two Types of GFO: Granular GFO is varied in its shapes and requires the least amount of flow to tumble. Use nutrient free RO/DI water for water changes and top off water Shorten your lighting period or intensity. The price is just about double of standard GFO however you only need to use half as much which equals out in the long run. The best offense against algae is to take preventative measures and attack nutrient before an outbreak is apparent. Note: All Bulk GFO is packaged by weight. Fewer fines will be created during use and transportation. By volume, High Capacity GFO will remove roughly twice the phosphate compared to the same volume of Granular GFO. In some cases aquarists have found replacing old bulbs that have fallen out of their intended spectrum helps as well.
