hi reefers,
I dose Seachem Flourish Phosphorus to raise and maintain my PO4 level at 0.03ppm (measured using Hanna Phosphorus test kit). I figured out the daily PO4 consumption rate of my tank is 0.02ppm per day.
I have a GHL KHD and it performs 2 tests twice a day. I've seen my KH creep up from 7.9dKH to 8.5dKH over the course of 3 days though I have not increased my KH dosing. Sometimes it'll stay flat over 1-2 days and it will go up again.
So the question is does dosing phosphate actually increases KH? I read somewhere in the forum here commented by Randy that dosing Potassium Nitrate does raise KH. So i was wondering if this holds true for dosing Phosphate too.
Note: The ingredients of Seachem Flourish Phosphorus is derived from
amounts per 1g: derived from Potassium Phosphate
