Is it possible to balance Phosphorus with Phosphate? I’ve noticed a lot of ICP analysis reveal a ratio that appears to be unbalanced on most tanks according to the normal levels provided by the analysis.
What do you mean balanced? There's no preferred ratio and I don't think your values are even independent measurements. I suspect they are just P x 3.06 = phosphate because phosphate weighs 3.06 times as much as phosphors.
