My display tank is currently fallow (it has a skunk cleaner shrimp and som recordea) and has been so for 3 weeks now. I am feeding some flake for the shrimp but other than that... The system has never been high on phosphate anyway but today, it measures at .01ppm (Hanna phos ulr). I am a little worried about getting an outbreak of Dino and also maybe supressing other beneficial processes that require phosphate.
Two questions:
1). Is .01 ppm enough phosphate?
2). Does anyone have links to threads that describe the best way to add phosphate to a tank? I know Brightwell has a product but I am not sure if that is the most effective way to add phosphate.
Nitrate is at 5ppm according to Salifert if that is of any interest.
