So, I've been having high phosphate in my tank (was up at 3ppm, now ~1.7ppm after a couple 30% wc's), and was curious about my fresh salt water. So I tested tonight with my Hannah ULR Phosphate, and it measured .1 ppm. Is this normal?
I'm guessing based on some searching here, that it may be my RODI water. But not really sure. I doubt it is my IO salt, as there would be a firestorm on the boards if this was the case. Overall high phosphate are probably a mix of 17 year old Fiji live rock and feeding frozen foods, but the water is not overly helping.
Anyway, thoughts on this? Do I need to use a GFO reactor or something of that sort on my fresh salt water before adding it to the DT? I'm just focused on trying to keep my tank parameters no higher than they now are and keep everyone happy and healthy.
Full parameters from today's testing.:
Thanks
