Who all with Nano has used phosphate rx? I have a innovative marine 20g that is having a gha issue. I've been doing water changes, every other day to try to get rid of this stuff and just won't seem to go away. I'm not running a skimmer but do have a algae reactor, but it seems the gha is out competing the macro algae. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Which ones do you want? Nitrate and phosphate and what else?

Ph= 8.0
Phosphate= .1
Nitrite= 0
Nitrate= 5
Alk= 8.4
Cal= 420
Mag= 1200

Could the low mag cause the algae?

No experience with Phosphate Rx but I do use GFO in the back compartment of my Evo and it does a pretty good job of keeping my phosphates down. But ultimately getting a little tuxedo urchin was what solved my GHA issue. He mowed through all of it in my tank in about a week and a half and now I feed him nori to keep him happy. I understand not all of them will eat GHA, but mine is an absolute beast.

Dosed 60 drops in my tank last night. I actually under dosed the total volume of water I have. Took a reading this morning. The Hanna ulr registered 1, which when entering the reading into fusion it automatically converts the result into ppm, which is 0. So I guess my po4 is just barely detectable. This stuff works. Nothing in the tank even noticed. All is good. I guess this product get a thumbs up from me!
