I cant believe your LFS doesn't know what GFO is....Granular Ferric Oxide

I would look for another LFS......Just my opinion

Make sure you clip it in an area that has a pretty good amount of flow, otherwise it would be a waste. You don't want it bobbing around like a teabag, but to act more like a strainer forcing the water through it.

watch the videos, they say whats best for what type of appication. high capicity is all around best. granular i believe is the basic stuff thats soft but decent in a reactor, and pellets they say are best for a filter bag (if you dont want to spend the $$ on high cap)

definitely want to use a filter bag so i guess im going for pellets. its going in my 2nd chamber, wich has a small overflow think wich i think is around 50-100 gph. where can i find the filter bags?
