.80 × 2 = 1.6 what I gotI'd suggest diluting your sample and try again. Add 5mL of tank water and 5mL of RODI water. Do the rest of the test per the instructions. Whatever result you get, multiply by 2 to get the true value.

Is the water in the vial after adding the packet turning blue?.80 × 2 = 1.6 what I got
YesIs the water in the vial after adding the packet turning blue?
No math needed; that reading is in parts per million which is what is commonly used.Had a question if you can please. ppm .90 . Do I have to do any math or is it the right reading for my phosphate.
Have you thought about a refugium with chaeto? Took my high PO4 & NO3 to almost zero.I just recently purchased this test kit this test kit. Hanna HI774 Phosphate. I got a reading of .90 I need to know if this is to high. What ppm I need to have. I've been having some issues with algae. Please any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I heard of that my only thing is that I have a fluval 13.5 tank. Where would I stick it at?Have you thought about a refugium with chaeto? Took my high PO4 & NO3 to almost zero.
Yup. I just add this to my tank. Was recommended to me by many people.Yikes! You're phosphate level is at least 1.6 ppm. Could be higher because your 50% dilution is still up toward the top end of the range.
I added 5mL of RO water and 5 mL for tank water. I got .80Tbh I’d highly doubt your phosphates are that high if you have corals in the tank.
Plus a reading of .9 can just be an error message I believe.
How do your corals look? Have a pic of the tank?I added 5mL of RO water and 5 mL for tank water. I got .80
Build a small algae reactor like the Tunze MAR.I heard of that my only thing is that I have a fluval 13.5 tank. Where would I stick it at?
I just pulled out my dead sea hare from my tank after doing a water change I just saw it. Everyone seem good.You can grow Cheato in the 2nd chamber of the Fluval Evo. I thought about it but I have my heater in there.
After some research I bought some Seachem PhosNet as I thought my phosphates were drifting up, but they went back down again so I haven't had to use it yet.
Do you know why your phosphates are so high? Are you using RODI water? How old is the tank and what do you have in it?
