Gradually increase the amount over time as needed. Do not use more than ½ cup per 25 gallons for saltwater and ½ cup per 50 gallons for freshwater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to Use: Rinse before use. For best results, use a filter media reactor. The media in the reactor should barely move at the top. It should not tumble, which would grind particles into a powder. The resulting powder can be dangerous to fish and corals. It can also work in a tightly packed filter media bag in a high-flow area of the sump or filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Replacement Schedule: Test phosphate weekly and completely change out when phosphate levels begin to rise. As a general rule of thumb, this is every 4 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Sizes: 0.5 lb (8 oz), 1.0 lb (16 oz), 2.0 lb (32 oz), 20.0 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included (i.e., what’s in the box)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplicity GFO (Granular Ferric Oxide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon Media Bag (200 Micron ) ( 4 in.
