Reviews on Chemi-Pure or Chemi-Pure Elite
Right now Im using Kent Reef carbon and was thinking of trying Chemi-Pure Elite. Any Suggestions weather this is good or bad??

I just use carbon. Some of the resins might catch a few things that the carbon doesn't, but I don't bother anymore. A GFO might be useful in some cases.

Would you recommend GFO use if phosphates and nitrates test zero ( I know this can be decieving)but there is still a bit of bryopsis here and there. I've been thinking about trying it. I have never used it but do run carbon 24/7 and polypad from time to time.
Any caveats? I do feed over 40 fish in the system 2x per day so I think there will be enough phosphate for the corals. I'm a little concerned that using GFO might hurt the sps.

With that type of coral, I'd probably tread cautiously with the GFO, but I'd likely try it.
