Yes API phosphate testPhosphates ?

10ppm phosphates .Yes API phosphate test
Oh I see. Maybe rowaphos will work better in my favor since my tank is smaller than yours?Rowaphos is good ..
I have a 230 gal with only a small reactor .
I started off with one reactor with 23 table
Spoons carbon and the other had 13 tablespoons rowaphos .
I have changed that about a month later to double the amount of rowaphos .
Now running with 1tbs / 10 gal ratio .
instead of increasing again I am looking for different options .
Yep that's the cards. I'm waiting for the salfiert test to get here. Also waiting for a skimmer10ppm phosphates .
wow .......
Perhaps faulty test or test error ?
have you tried confirming it with a different test ?
The only advice I can give you .Oh I see. Maybe rowaphos will work better in my favor since my tank is smaller than yours?
How long has the system been running ?Yep that's the cards. I'm waiting for the salfiert test to get here. Also waiting for a skimmer
Headed for 2 yrs, 6 months ago. Been fighting gha figured it might be phosphate. It's only fish and 1 toadstool coral that's growing but slowly.How long has the system been running ?
When did you notice them that high ?
Wait, are your phosphates at 10ppm??Yep that's the cards. I'm waiting for the salfiert test to get here. Also waiting for a skimmer
According to API test yes.Wait, are your phosphates at 10ppm??
Sorry to hear that, dude. I know you'll lower them enough at some point. Just use the advice everyone is giving me for phosphates lolHeaded for 2 yrs, 6 months ago. Been fighting gha figured it might be phosphate. It's only fish and 1 toadstool coral that's growing but slowly.
I want to get it to the point of being able to have coral.
For sure. I don't want them to be at zero anyways ahaha. My main goal is around 0.03ppmAgree with Rmckoy about not letting your phosphates dropping to zero . That could make you susceptible to other issues like Dino’s
Lol, I'm a dudette. I'm reading all of the comments I can find on getting phosphate down.Sorry to hear that, dude. I know you'll lower them enough at some point. Just use the advice everyone is giving me for phosphates lol
Why not try out the advice that was given to me too? I think the phosphate rx should helpPlease let me know a good way besides small water changes as this is mine.
What size is the tank ?Lol, I'm a dudette. I'm reading all of the comments I can find on getting phosphate down.
125, and yes I'm seriously thinking that I need to remove the rocks.What size is the tank ?
If it’s only fish .
have you thought of removing rocks and substrate ,
Throughly washing and soaking ?
I don’t know if o would be comfortable removing all rocks and sand all at once .125, and yes I'm seriously thinking that I need to remove the rocks.
My biggest concern is the huge pod population being decimated by removing the rocks and sand and washing.
