Vodka dosing maxed out...best way to run GFO?

After 6+ months the vodka dosing has finally kicked in; nitrates are nicely low after hitting 50-100 at one point. I had a couple other threads on the long journey that took to get to this point.

Unfortunately, as is common, I'm left with excess phosphates; vodka dosing took phosphates down to around 0.75-1.0 and won't get them any lower. So I'm going to augment with GFO.

I've read a bunch of threads, but being new to GFO's despite running large tanks for 20 years, I was hoping for direction on actually using it. Specifically:

- Reactor or just media bag in a high flow area of the sump?

- Are there guidelines on how much GFO to use?

- If a reactor is the way to go, are there guidelines on what the water flow should be through it?
