Need a quick sanity check please.
So my first mistake and my tank is only 5 months old, thankfully there are no corals in it yet. However, in prep for corals and because my nitrates and phosphates were low N: 1.3 and falling same with my P: 0.02, I decided to start dosing nitrates and phosphates, especially as I started to see Dino in the tank.
Well long story short I used Trisodium Phosphate and used the Planted Tank Aquarium calculator, but somewhere in my head I thought I needed to convert from ppM to ppB so as an end result for the last two days I have been dosing 0.25ppm into my tank instead of the intended 0.02 . I just checked and my phosphates are around 0.4 so its being consumed.
I dont think I am going to hurt anything in the tank and my plan is to stop until I get under .1 then pick back up dosing the right amount.
Can someone confirm that I shouldn't be worried and that my plan is fine?
