My Po4 and No3 are out of whack. I’m running at a steady 5ppm nitrates but my phosphates are constantly climbing. I have to dose Phosphat-E regularly just to keep it below 0.10. I’ve got a cantaloupe sized ball of cheato tumbling in my fuge, running on a 12 hour opposing light cycle. I assume that’s why my No3 is steady Eddie. Why then isn’t the cheato up-taking the phosphates at the same rate? I considered increasing my fuge light cycle to help reduce Po4 but I don’t want my nitrates to drop to 0. Would using a GFO reactor be a nuclear solution? Maybe Poly filter pads? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
