My Tank Thread
I do find it very interesting that the nutrient levels of this skimmate are so low. If I’m reading right? I’m sure many would consider those levels as being perfectly fine for tank water and some might even be envious and that is where the real questions come in my mind.
There's more than 20 ppm phosphate equivalent in the skimmate. I don't know what one would hope or expect it to be, since that value is very complicated by the many forms being counted, including whole bacteria.
