Guys

Currently I’m feeding 1” square of nori and 10g of mysis , po4 is controlled steady at .03 with .7ml of lanthanum chloride

The bottles nearly empty and I’m thinking with .7ml of LC I can probably stop it and reduce the food a little

I wonder if halving the food will keep it stable at <.05 say
 
Personally I don't believe in feeding less to control parameters, if we have fish then we have responsibility to the fish. Honestly, .03 is extremely low, most test kits have .03+/- error ratio, so it might even be zero. 05 is also very low. I keep my phosphate at about.1
 
They’re getting more food than they would in the wild even at 5g mysis and nori
The error margin is +/- .02 just to be clear on Hanna ulr and it’s never at 0 because I don’t get dinos appearing

I’m not interested in a debate about correct levels of po4 , there’s already millions of threads on that topic

just wonders if there was any info on po4 quantity in foods but I guess I’ll just experiment
