So I know the Redfield ratio says nitrate to phosphate ratio should be 10:1. I do a 5-gallon water change every other Sunday. Pre-change was 26.1ppm NO3 and .02ppm PO4. Post water change the tank tested 20.7ppm NO3 and .03ppm PO4.
I made a post on Instagram showing my results and my scrubbers growth over the last two weeks. The gentleman from Clearwater Scrubbers commented that I need to dose phosphates to get my nitrates down. Can someone please explain this to me?
If the tank looks great and I’m cleaning the glass less since installing my Drop1.2x scrubber is this something I should be doing? Should I be dosing phosphates.
