High Capacity GFO : Is it worth the extra money?

[ErikH]

Anyone use the different versions of Bulk Reef Supply's GFO?
I have used the two lower grades, but have been contemplating trying the higher capacity GFO.

It's expensive maintainence, so just looking to find out a comparison of which one is more worth the buck.


I may buy a 5g bucket, if someone wants to go halfs. :)

have you read the reviews they have with them. I remember reading them and something somebody said on the BRS reviews about the granular made me decide against it -but I forget what it was.

Yeah I also read something along those lines. I use phosban which I need to resupply on...Paul28 recomended phosban awhile back and Ive stuck with it ever since.

I am a Seachem fan. The little beads are just perfect and not as messy as that dust.

For the dust issue, I put my GFO into the reactor (TLF) and place the output into a 5g jug and let it go until it starts coming out clear. What did y'all read about the granular that steered you away from it? I've been using it for 5 years with no problems, so I am curious! :)

just go to BRS and look through the reviews. it was something there...

I have had excelent results with running Purigen through BRS dual reactor with carbon....Purigen will keep water crystal clear, its cost is reasonable, last and easy to recharge...
