    If you have been running a phosban reactor, than you should know what GFO is. What media have you been running in the reactor?

    If Im not mistaken that essentially is GFO or uses the same ingredient so if this hasnt worked than I would consider taking out that phosphate laden Live Rock

    also for that size tank, I hope you have 3 or 4 powerheads inside making it a whirlpool. I would shoot for 4000-6000gph worth of total flow. if its stormywaters, hard for stuff to form on sand and rocks with all that current.

    yes but I dont believe Phosban is Seachem. Seachem if im not mistaken makes Phosgaurd not Phosban. Phosban I believe is iron based and Phosgaurd is aluminum. If Im not mistaken.

    phosban is two light fishes brand I think. that would be gfo. save yourself some money just get bulkreefsupply 1 gallon+ of the stuff. clean out all your filters, pumps, skimmers, reactors, etc... let's get to work!
