Anyone familiar with chemi pure elite?

I'm currently running poly filters and I'm curious as to whether or not I'd see anymore benefit to running the chemi pure elite carbon. Thanks.

You'd probably get better results from the chemipure elite than the poly filters. It would be cheaper in the long run to just buy a good carbon and the GFO seperately (that's basically all chemipure elite is). Dr F&S brand GFO is the cheapest GFO I've seen and the one I'm using..

And you get MUCH better results using GFO in a reactor instead of a filter bag.

That looks like a plan.. Do you like the normal chemi pure as a carbon unit? The elite is like 19 bucks for a full unit@RCaquatics. Not bad pricing considering I typically only had to replace my chemi pure(standard) in the past every 3 months or so...

I've got one of those rena filstars laying around.. I know they suck balls, but could I run the chemipure elite in this unit and then hook up the outflow to my chiller? And a phosphate reactor in the future..?

P.S. the filstar would ONLY be used to hold the chemi pure and act as a powerhead for the chiller as I have a separate protein skimmer and all that already.
