GFO Phosphate in tank question

JJIM · 12/16/2009, 05:22 PM

I have been cycling my tank now for almost two weeks, and during that time (within last week) I bought a reactor for carbon and phosphate. Well, low and behold the granular is quite small therefore some of it was pushed out through the filter into the tank. Does anyone see this being a problem, or will it just eventually dissipate? Currently there is a little sprinkled here and there on the sand bed, not an excessive amount. Thanks for your input!

No worries. It's iron based and will have no adverse effects on your tank.

Thanks kindly Chuck! Kind of figured, but needed some reassurance =)
