Well start with half of the recommended amount, I wouldn't leave it offline to long, may run up you're po4.

GFO also takes some alk from the system, so keep an eye on that after you start up the reactor, it could be little amount or big amount that it drops.

I had it running in my one 60 gallon, havnt had it on since i started the new tank and combined the two 60's together in the new 135. But i do have two small bags of gfo in the sump right now.
Maybe i will just leave it until i get a test done. Or would it matter.

But thanks for the offer.
