Started needing to dose phosphates again. I never really asked, but how much of a dose is “good” at once?
I have a mixture of rodi and monopotassium phosphate 500ml to 3 grams. Using the planted tanks calculator that works out to a 0.06ppm for each 1ml dose.
Currently sitting at 6 ppb (yes billion) with Hanna ulr checker. I’ve been dosing 0.5 ml every other day for about a week and no noticeable difference.
So how many ppm/ppb are you dosing at once to raise your phosphates? Is there a “that’s too much at once” amount?
Ps I don’t have any filtration other than coarse filter pads. Nitrates sitting at 10ppm consistently with a water change once a month or so.
