    i ran GFO for the longest time. but recently i have been having trouble with it. it has been making my water really cloudy. i havent run the reactor for several months because every time i try to set it up again it does the same thing. this time (less than a week) i have the reactor way down and its not too cloudy but slightly cloudy any ways.

    i think its time to try a dif route with gfo. and seeing as how i havent tried BRS's GFO yet. i might be in for some of that if we can meet at the lansing swap or something. i cant take half, no funds for that, but ill take some.

    also is this the high capacity GFO?

    Yes it is the high cap. I will keep you in mind. I am looking into doing something else now. The last bucket was half that !

    Dputt your not the only one, with the cloudy water. A good friend of mine was having the same issue recently. He stopped running GFO as well.

    Sorry didn't mean to hijack thread.

    My guess is there must be a bad source/batch that was put on the market. And it's just circulating around. But as far as brands go who knows.
