I have a 95g tank that is sps only. My question is what kind of phosphate media do you guys use? Thanks

Of the three most common types of products used to reduce phosphate, I run GFO, purchased from www.bulkreefsupply.com. Running macro in a refugium and carbon dosing will help also, which I have used.
