Can some type of ferric oxide be used in my 160gph canister filter??
I'm thinking that there will be too much flow to run granular ferric oxide in my marineland c-160. Bulk Reef Supply has pellet ferric oxide - can that be used?

Most definitely, in a filter bag in the canister. I would use the pellet less dust.

I've used the Dr F&S PhosPure GFO in a C160, Ran it in a filter bag in the middle tray with GAC in the top and bottom trays. The PhosPure is fine powder and I didn't have any problem. The pellet style would be fine as well.
