it can very easily get gunked up and then the decaying of that stuff ends up kicking nitrates back into your tank. I've also heard that once it's full it can start working backwards and pushing stuff into the tank, although don't know how much I quite believe that.sid700 said:What happens if you don't change out the GFO religiously?
chicken said:I don't wash the GFO for either of my tanks. I just take the output from the fluidized reactor after I change the media and run it into an empty bucket until it is clear. From there I just move the hose back into a small filter sock and leave it like that.
