GFO/Carbon on a small tank

[mvm]

I have a 34 gallon reef BB with a very high bioload (3 flame wrasse, 2 clowns, flaming goby, neon goby, yellow coris wrasse and phantom blenny). I am thinking about using a gfo/carbon reactor thanks to the BRS group buy. Is this a bad idea on such a small tank? I've never tested by p04, but it can't be that high. I have a little bubble algae, no HA, and algae that needs to be scraped off of the glass daily to every other day. Would GFO in my sps dominated nano be a bad idea?

Usually every week, 10 days at the most, 5 gallons at a time. Don't get me wrong, I don't really have any nuisance algae, great color and growth on my SPS. I'm just looking for an excuse to get in on this great group buy and can never stop tinkering with my tank

Barbara,
Have you noticed more algae since you got your calcium reactor? I read where GFO helps a lot if you are using a CR.

If it's not broken then don't try to fix it.

^this

and on that size tank, i would just try chemipure elite anyway before spending all that cash on a reactor.
