High Phosphate

[Timich]

I recently got ICP results which show high phosphate. It’s at .70
I’ll retest at home. But usually don’t test. The tank has been running for almost a decade. Stopped doing regular tests for phosphate years ago. .70 phosphate is quite high.


I was surprised since I don’t have an algae issue and all corals look good.
Have what I think is normal growth on all established corals. Including SPS, LPS, Zoas.
Nothing is growing super fast. But it’s all growing.
And recently (2months ago) added a RBTA which is doing really great.

I have a phosban reactor (and media) which I never used before. Would it be wise to give it a twirl?
I would like to remove phosphate without causing any harm to healthy looking corals.
But if this can help with growth I want to do it.
I do waterchanges about every 3 weeks. Using NSW that I also got ICP tested. The NSW results for phosphate were also a bit high but closer to .15. Which I can live with.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it. so what, you got "high" po4? lol. if your tanks obviously been doing well, why try to create problems. leave it be. only fix stuff when's there's stuff to fix lol...just friendly advice
