I finally got my hands on the BRS dual media reactor. I went to the BRS site, used the calculator, and without thinking added the full recommended qauntities of GFO and carbon (which came out to about 23 tbsp of GFO and 9 tbsp of carbon for my 92 gallon tank). Im not too worried about the carbon but I have never used GFO before. Was I supposed to build my way up to 23 tbsp(about 2/3 of the canister)? It's been running for about a day. As of now the lights are off so I can't really tell about the corals. As far as my fish, my yellow tang is acting odd, he seems to be hanging around my bubble coral and then has these wierd, wild swimming bursts...
Couple questions, should I stop running the GFO? Can GFO or carbon sit in the reactor without water going through it or will it go bad?
