Update
I have continue with Salifer Phosphate eliminator and GFO/AL remover as before. The bad news is that measured PO4 now hit 1 mg/L (se my build thread from post 3,250)
However - I must say that I´m rather confused because in spite of high PO4 reading, measurable NH3/NH4 and NO3 and most of the ultra trace elements there they should be - my windows are rather clean. Before - with lower measured PO4 - they need scraping nearly every day - now maybe once every 4:th day.
I use Salifert state that this product flocculate the PO4 into a form that is not useable for photosyntetic organisms but will be breakdown into PO4 and the flocculant when you analyze it. What´s contradict this is that I have not seen any lesser growth of my macroalgae. Never the less - there is much lesser microalgae growth on my windows now. Everything else looks fine
