Low phosphate issues

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Were you dosing both at the same time, or the Neophos first? Bringing up one before the other might be more stressful than raising both at once.

I was doing neonitro and neophos together. 10/ml and 5/ml. Still not sure what it was. I sent off an ICP during and everything looked good. Just had iodine a little low. I had also stopped doing WC during that time. Doing those again now also weekly.

It had been 4 weeks since a tank transfer and WC when I started dosing them. Now that I have the ULR I just dose 10ml of neonitro and that seems to be keeping me around 10 on No3.

I feed 4 times daily and dosing redsea AB+ in the evenings too.

If you do choose to dose phosphate, I would avoid Neophos (expensive and of unknown purity).

Better, IMO, is food grade sodium phosphate. Loudwolf is a fine brand.

Gonna make the switch.
