High Phosphates Making Your Tank Look Like A Swamp? | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

In this episode, we tackle the persistent battle against high phosphates and algae in the Jimmy's FOWLR tank. After the heartbreak of losing a recent fish shipment, the focus shifts to maintaining the health of the surviving fish by mastering water chemistry. This week, Jimmy dives into the world of GFO (Granular Ferric Oxide) and demonstrates how to use a NYOS Torq media reactor to run both carbon and GFO simultaneously. From testing with the Hanna Marine Master Checker to using a "shaking" shortcut for reagents, this episode is packed with practical tips for balancing predator feeding habits with pristine water quality.
