No removers. But carbon dosing to manage it. And sometimes I dose it.

So plenty of testing then
I’ve had a phosphate and feeding fixation for a while. Not necessary but it’s been fun.

I let it do its thing. But I do add TM Phos Feed to my main tank and I look at corals.
If I see this I assume things are good,

Good luck,

TM has some cool products like phos feed and reef actif. I’ve never tried them because I don’t understand them and I don’t know what’s in them. That doesn’t always stop me from trying something but it certainly makes me hesitant.

I dose trisodium phosphate via doser daily on all my tanks. Might need to do the same with ammonium bicarbonate soon.

Carbon dosing is more for Nitrates.

I was dealing with elevated PO4 and started dosing distilled vinegar. My nitrates plummeted without making a dent in my PO4 number.

I installed a Phosguard reactor. PO4 well on its way down.

Mostly agree, but you can definitely control phosphates with it too.

Me too but just .07ml to keep a constant .03
I don't have exact numbers, but when i see corals starting to brown a bit, I mix 7ml of seaklear phosphate remover into 1 gallon of rodi and constant dose it until it's empty. The gallon mixture lasts roughly a week.

I haven't tested in a while, but I'd imagine ime well over 0.40 ppm
