My reef is 45 gallons, if I don’t dos phosphate I always get a reading of 0 on Hanna checker.
Alk 8.3
N03 12 ppm
P04 0
Ph low 8.1 high 8.4
When I dos p04 alk goes up about .5 dkh ,phosphate shows up .02 and ph goes down low 7.8 high 8.2
I have 4 good size fish and feed pellets once a day, frozen once a day, nori every other day and reef Chilli 2 a week. Just wondering if I have enough organic phosphate in the water and not to worry about testing. I’m worried about keeping p04 at 0 because I don’t want Dino’s coming back. I do have some bubble algae , not sure if that’s what’s consuming phosphate. Tank seems to be better without dosing p04 but like I said worried about Dino’s
