Blue Life P04 remover

[Znut Reefer]

Has anyone tried this phosphate remover. If so, how did it work for you?

I used some a long time ago when I found that I had a measurable amount of phosphate. It worked. not sure but I think it somehow binds to the phosphate and allows the skimmer to remove it.Ever since then (more than a year) phosphate always tests 0. Within the last month I noticed a couple small patches of briopsis or hair algea and still 0 po4 so I put a little in just in case the po4 levels are below my test kits range but high enough to sprout some algea.

Thanks Mike. How much did you add at a time? My P04 is at 0.23 and I'm having some algae issues.

I sucked up maybe a half inch of the solution into the dropper.Just that much clouded my 215 display for a few so I wouldnt use more than that at once. Also make sure your skimmer is tuned up and ready to go

OK thanks again for your reply.

I've used it before, it works well. Pretty much the same as the stuff that Brightwell makes but the Blue Life is more concentrated and cheaper. I dosed it according to the directions on the label with good results. I added it at night so I didn't have to look at the cloudy water. It was always cleared up by the morning.
