I left my GFL reactor on, phosphate zero

[Ballyhoo]

I have my GFO reactor on a timer, but somehow I messed up the timer and it just kept running thankfully I thought to test my phosphates (Hana) and I saw it at zero so I checked the timer and found out that my it reactor has been running for the last couple of days nonstop and I had just replenished the GFO. So my question is I have Neo phos, how do I know how much neo phos I should dose now that I'm at zero? of course I've turned off the reactor for now. it's about a 54 gallon system.

I might bump it 5ml, wait 24hrs and see what impact that has. If none, double that and test again.

What is the usual value?

What is the usual value?

I like to keep the usual value around .05

Ah, pretty low. I’d try leaving it off for a few days and maybe feed heavier.

If it doesn’t jump above zero in a day or so I’d dose some phosphate. By stripping it to zero with GFO you have probably also stripped it off the substrate. It may take quite a lot of phosphate addition to get it stable again.

Corals look stressed?
