Hey, so right now my Phosphate range from 0.18-0.65, and I’m looking to hone that alittle bit, but I’m not too sure where to go with it.
The point of my 26g macro fuge/Mangrove system is to keep my reef system it’s tied to more stable, but I also want abundant and healthy plants.
Where do you guys aim to keep your phosphate?
Should I consider periodically shutting off circulation to the reef system and doing some dosing and closed circuit circulation?

No offense—I believe you’re overthinking it. Your current phosphate range is great, but as long as there’s detectable phosphate and nitrate, the algae should be fine.
