My tank is 200G 150G total water volume. 9 months old. Mix of lps, and softies. Etc.. my phosphate always been high. Now according to todays testint with hanna sitting at 13 nitrate and 0.24 phosphate. I feed mysis, and a mix of everything. How do i get my phosphate down? I do 44% water changes every 2-3 weeks
 
Feed less. Test your foods for phosphate levels and eliminate the worst one. Running GFO helps. Get a reactor and put it on a timer. I run mine about an hour a night
 
My favourite gfo is jbl phos ex ultra
