Not necessarily. Study talks about low being 0.006 μM (.00057 ppm this is a rough guess using someone else's calculator and using phosphorus Mu at 123.88 (m=4x30.97) I'm adding this so someone can correct this if I'm wrong)So, GFO reactors are starting to sound like a bad idea?
Thanks cause I was having this type issue and was losing corals. I have stopped treating and hopefully they will heal.Not necessarily.

Regardless, if your po4 is higher than generally accepted targets of .04ppm (ish on low nutrient systems. Or higher for non ulns) than granular ferric oxide (gfo) might be a useful tool. That said I never run gfo for more than a day or two. 1 cup of gfo in my tank (roughly 230g actual water)in a reactor with 1 cup of gfo will strip about .06ppm po4 in 48 hrs. After that it starts to deplete.
In short , can someone explain what this means in terms of hobby test kit results ?
I'm not sure what you mean by "this type of issue" would you elaborateThanks cause I was having this type issue and was losing corals. I have stopped treating and hopefully they will heal.
Was running phosguard and as of recent two of the same corals started to loose polypsI'm not sure what you mean by "this type of issue" would you elaborate
Possible but I have discontinued GFO and my corals stopped losing polypsCould also be effects of a sudden nutrient change
I decided to fill directions and not use my reactor,I put some in a screen bag and dropped in sump and then the trouble beganReactor flow through is the best way to control it. I have a manifold with a valve to control flow
