So need some phosphates and nitrates for dummies type of answers so my simple mind can understand haha
My nitrates were increasing weekly from 10 to 15 to 17 to 25 and got up to 30 . Phosphates were always 0.00
I started dosing Neophos 10-20 ml which would measure about .02 -.04 then back to 0.00 so lately I have been dosing 20ml .04 phos every 1-2 days but still my phosphate drops to 0.00 when i test sometimes . What is consuming all this phosphate?
My nitrates tested last night at 15.3 which is half of what they were last time . So i think i remember hearing that phosphate will consume nitrates ?? is this correct?
I know corals will consume nitrates so if my corals are growing maybe they will consume more phosphate and nitrates ?
The bottle of Neophos says not to exceed .04 P04 but i am wondering if its getting consumed so fast could i dose 40 ml or 60 ml or would that be asking for trouble ? too much phosphate to add to the tank at once ??
