Why does BRS recommend this?

Phosphates are going to be one of the biggest battles we have with a reef aquarium.  The BRS GFO works great in filter socks and reactors.  For the price Standard Granular GFO is going to be one of the best values when it comes to GFO for phosphate removal.

Granular Ferric Oxide (GFO) removes phosphate from the aquarium and is one of the most commonly used filtration media used in the aquarium industry.  GFO is one of the few ways to easily maintain ultra low phosphate on a consistent basis. Maintaining these ultra-low levels will help prevent algae outbreaks as well as treat existing algae issues. Your aquariums glass will also stay clear and free of the green hue significantly longer. GFO is most commonly used in a media reactor like the BRS reactor or media bag.
