I got a new Hannah LR phosphate checker bc tbh I’ve used the API test in the past and finally bit the bullet and got a new digital tester.
I have a 175g and tested the phosphates 3 times and came back with 2.11ppm. Yes, you read that correctly 2.11.
I have a bunch of tangs and barely run the whites so I don’t have an algae problem.
Need suggestions on how to get the phosphates down. I know I can’t rapidly do it or it’ll stress the corals or potentially crash the tank.
I have added (3) 5.5oz media bags of ChemiPure Blue. Each bag says it’s good for 35 gallons. So I have enough in the sump in the last chamber just before the return pump to treat 105 gallons.
I implemented a Refugium about 2 weeks ago with caulerpa but I know it takes a while for it to kick in.
I test nitrates weekly and they are 40 for this tank.
I do have some PhosGuard that I picked up but didn’t want to add that along with ChemiPure until I got some feedback on the forum.
Any advanced advice appreciated.
