Does anyone have experience using opti-phos? I was looking at a package deal that had 2 phosban reactors, a pump, black diamond carbon and opti-phos. Can you run any GFO in a phosban reactor?

Any help appreciated.

I've not used it, but remarkably, they stole a drawing from my phosphate article for their product label. :lol:
