Phos help needed

[Richie Lloyd]

Hi guys
Weird one here
Tank water reads 0.10 on hanna phosphorous checker
Tested reactor effluent and that was 0.003 so I thought I would swap it out for new
Filled half my reactor with Fauna Marin Power Phos, after 30 mins of medium flow coming out I tested and it was 0.08? So I turned the flow down further and its still 0.07??
Could the media be faulty? Im actually worse off than when I had my 2 month old rowa in lol

I have heard mixed reviews on that stuff. I prefer BRS extra capacity GFO over any other phosphate media..

That sounds about right the new media hasn't started absorbing yet? Give it a day then test again?

Should see results almost immediately from absorbing media.

I still say give it more time

Always works within half an hour any other media I've used
