Hello reefers.
I been running zeovit for over a year. And at the beginning everything is in check no3 4ppm po4 0-0.01ppm. One day the po4 start to creep up. I been battling high po4 for over 4 months now. I have small bio load 10 fish in a 180g. I can confirm the source water and fresh saltmix dose not contain any po4. The po4 level is constantly hovering between 0.13-0.17ppm. I just wondering if I use gfo or any other phosphate remover to bring the po4 down to 0.01will my po4 hovering from 0.01-0.05 instead? Thanks

Well I use rowaphos 24/7 to keep phosphate locked down if that’s any help

Sounds like a zeovit operation question. But, if you are feeding any liquids, they have a lot of nutrients that go right into the water, faster than solid foods.

i have same problem,
i asked in zeovit forum they say not to use GFO
also you want to get it down slowly so no dino or cyano will come
Did you manage to lower po4 yet and how old is your system? Thanks

I use AF life source when PO above 0.05 and FM Coral Balance when above 0.2.
Normal day I just dose iron supplement.
I do not run any phosremover like rowaphos ,phos minus,etc
I skim wet. 3 days need to empty collection cup.
And last no water change coming 5 years
