Phosphate Levels.

[Larry54corner]

I just bought a Phosphate Pro test kit the level is 0.08 ppm. i just added a reactor on Sunday and I have Rowa phosphate ruining as the media how long will it take to come down ? When and how often should I change the media ?

Why do you want it down? I think that is a good level to feed your coral.

Get it to where you want it and replace the media when it rises. Too much and you will end up with about 0 on a test, which again, I think is too clean.

Ok. Cool. I understand thanks. The tank is crystal clear and everything is thriving I just thought I needed the Phosphate down to .05

Just FYI. My tank is currently at .07 and it has never looked better with my Nitrates at 8ppm.

Are people still aiming to have po4 below .1? or has that margin widened a bit?
