+1 completely agree with Mark completely. Chasing numbers and/or overcorrecting with no problem to address more often than not ends badly. I don't trust any bad reading until verified by several reliable sources (and by that I mean quality test kits within expiration dates).I would not do anything unless you have a specific issue you can tie to PO4. This is typically the point where a tank gets nuked due to a perceived bad number. Either do the test yourself (Hanna ultra low range ULR) or don't do anything.
Keep the following in mind.
Too fast a PO4 change will hurt acros and they will stop growing, stop using Alk, which if not caught will lead to an Alk spike and wipe out many of your acros. All changes should be slow, deliberate, and combined with increased testing.
Here's oneWhich means you definitely need a second opinion!
Get your test verified by a lfs or purchase another kit.My phosphate stays at .25 i use gfo and it hasnt helped to much i have a hard time keep bubble tip or any soft corals thats all that i have seen that it affects and i want soft corals so bad... what can i do?
if your on rodi is a big one.I wounder what it is then everything test good other then that?
You do a 100% water change four times a month? That's like 300 gallons a month.Im running gfo my alk is high 10.2
Cal 350 mag 1400 how do i get them to level out i change 5 to 8 gallons a day of water i have a 80 gallon tank been running over 2 years
Yea. It's a lot. 10 to 20% of your tank volume is a week is fine.I have a 80 gallon i do a 5 to 8 gallon a day is that to much
Yep! Don't worry about it too much. I've had levels up around 5ppm and I'm a firm believer po4 has very little to no effect on corals. I did a year with .1-.2 and saw no difference at all.
It's all hype...for the most part
