So I’ve always had my phosphates at .5 thinking that was a good level my smart self thinking it was .05 oops. I’ve lowered it down to .03 with phosphate rx, but how do you maintain it at that level it bounces around. Should I just keep dosing phosphate rx or would gfo be a better option?
Also didn’t mean to lower it down so fast guess I don’t know exactly what my water volume is.
1/29 phosphate .5 added as per instructions 6 drops per 10 gal phosphate rx thinking I have about 120 total water volume so I added 72 drops
1/30 went down to .07
1/31 back up to .12
2/1 .15 added 60 drops instead tested later the same day dropped to .05
2/2 .12
2/3 .10
2/4 .12 added 60 drops again
2/8 .22 added 60 drops
2/9 .03
Also during this period I stopped feeding food that contained any phosphate in the ingredients.
Oh yea and tested with the Hanna HI774 ulr colorimeter
