HC GFO vs Reg GFO

[jdw]

I was searching the forum/website and I found numerous mentions of changing GFO every 7-10 days. If I stick with that changeout plan, is High Capacity GFO worth the investment or should I just stick with regular GFO?

Same stuff.

 

[jdw]

Well that solves my question

BRS: "High Capacity GFO is the best performing GFO we stock and capable of removing close to twice the phosphate as standard GFO by volume. We recommend this when you have a large tank or limited room in your media reactor."

I change mine every 3 weeks or monthly.

This is one place where it mentions the shorter lifespan.

Severn Trent , the largest manufacturer of the stuff..... discontinued it.

Good looking out heath. It's not the same but it does have roughly the same adsorption(binding) capacity. I have read reports that say otherwise but I also had the gentlemen that make the media tell me why they were discontinuing it's production. Believe whatever...lol
