All the GFO products are very similar with the exception of the pelletized media. Most all come from Bayer Chemical in Germany so about the only...

Contact Hydor Customer Service, they have a free fix for that and will get it right to you.
Reefkeeper Lite for me. Its not much more than a wavemaker/timer, has 100x the functionality and is expandable.
I am not a fan of Mag pumps, they are massive heat producers, are loud and not all that efficient. I use only Ocean Runner or Eheim pumps myself and...
I wet tested my entire system with tap water for several days before I added any sand, rock or saltwater. I cured my 180 lbs of live rock in...

Tap water is fine. GFO adsorbs contaminants very slowly so the effects of the tap water would be minimal if at all. GFO depends on time and multiple...
You are still better off with the CSPDI from Spectrapure at $199. With it you get a dual inline TDS meter, inline pressure gauge, specially treated...
I put mine down the drain and have no problem with doing so. Our wastewater is recycled and either recharged into the ground or used for watering...
RO/DI water and a good salt mix. Regular water changes will keep up with most systems until such time as regular testing with a name brand test kit...
