In a tank of 72 gallons you would want to add a reactor with GFO to get the phosphates under control..it would also be more economical in the long run.

Can you tell us more about the tank?
How old is it, what is your bioload and how often/how much are you doing water changes?
Let's start there...

GFO is granular ferrous oxide (rust pellets) and you use it in a reactor - TLF makes one. You pump water into it slowly with a MJ400 and it tumbles the pellets. This process causes the phosphates to bind with the pellets and lowers the PO4 levels in your water (a good thing). Welcome fellow Staten Islander!
