You won't be able to tell thedifference in any of them. It would take a well appointed lab to notice any difference. As long as its a GFO or GFH product and not an aluminum based one you are good to go.

Yes, it is Granulated Ferric Oxide, and one GFO is the same as the other.

Well, you being a Cubs fan, I feel for ya.

My wife is a Cubs fan.

Since I'm a Sox fan, I'll say I agree mostly with the above but have found better success with Warner Marines PhoSar. It just works better for me, I'm not starting a war here. The PhoSar HC might work better in a reactor.

Hi Tom and A.J.
