Today let's talk about.......Mitigating High Phosphates In Your Reef Aquarium...dum dum dum!
Angry Phosphate Man
The first thing we need to get out of the way is that fact that phosphates is not something that can be avoided. It can't be avoided but it can certainly be minimized. Why is that important? Well if you like uncontrollable algae then you need not worry about your level of tank phosphates. BUT if you're like most reef aquarium hobbyists then you want a clear, beautiful and nuisance algae free tank! So if phosphates can't be avoided then how do you mitigate it in your aquarium? Let's talk about it!
1. What can you do to keep phosphates under control and at levels that you are comfortable with? What are some things YOU do?
2. What is a comfortable level of phosphates for you in your aquarium?
