sefrayser Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I have a BRS GFO reactor and I am running the Pellet GFO from Bulk reef supply. I am still getting a reading of 0.1. What should I do?? Link to comment

sefrayser Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 About 2 months. I put 5 Tbs in the reactor. I changed the GFO about 2 weeks ago. I am using a Red Sea test. Hopefully I will get the Hanna UL Phosphate tester for valentines day. Link to comment
MarcG Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I wouldn't trust the Red Sea test at all. Check the reading with the Hanna test if you get it. If you are still getting a phosphate reading, consider running a little more GFO. Link to comment
sefrayser Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yes, I kinda thought that. If it means anything everything in the tank is doing great. I just added a 250MH with 2 24 watt T-5 and LED moonlights. Man its crazy how the corals have grown in a week. I went ahead and changed the GFO and put 5 Tbs. in. I will check tomorrow and see if it is any difference. Link to comment
Mitch619 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Don't sweat it about the reading. If your corals start looking crapy, then you should worry. And yeah red sea tests don't have the best reputation. Perhaps a hanna instruments phosphate checker? Link to comment
sefrayser Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hopefully Cupid will bring me one. Link to comment
Genj Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The one thing I would like to see on BRS TV is a video of their suggested flow rate/tumble of the BFO. I have mine set so that I have a few small areas that tumble. As time passes, the area moves around the GFO. But I have no idea what is proper. Link to comment
