So I bought a BRS dual reactor for a good price on here, just picked up gfo, and carbon to run in it. I am already running biopellets in a reactor. Question is should I remove the bio pellets and just run the dual reactor? Or run all 3? Thanks.

| depends on if your system needs all three. If your tank has low nitrates and phosphates already, pick one or the other. If they are high, add the others but start light on them. |

Yeah, I would ask two questions: How does the tank look? What are you trying to accomplish? In my experience, all reef aquariums need to run AC because it removes chemicals that cannot be filtered out in any other way, but PO4 remover(Activated Alumina or Granulated Ferric Oxide) is only needed to remove PO4 that has exceeded normal limits.
