Using phosguard in the reactor for a 20 gal cube. Didn't know gfo can crash systems. I have a small amount in another chamber. I use a Hannah checkerWell there are some variables that would allow us to give you more specific advice.
1. what phos test are you using
2. what is the volume of your system
I will give you the standard cautionary statement.
"GFO is powerful stuff and can rapidly deplete phos levels in your tank to crash levels, it is important to have good tests and use a conservative amount of GFO in the reactor"
Hey Andy, welcome.I just started using an IM desktop reactor with phosguard. Anybody have experience with this setup? Pros and cons?
so zero phoshates isn't a good thing?Hey Andy, welcome.
Test and adjust so the phosohate is not 0.
I don't think fish care, but corals want/need some nutrients to flourish, and many here believe a test kit reading of 0 is not desirable; 0.05 or above is better for phosphate, > 3 to5 for nitrates.so zero phoshates isn't a good thing?
