Hi all,
Im curious to learn more about your experiences with phosphate consumption vs nitrates. In my current system maintaining detectable levels has been difficult for both parameters.
Through daily dosing of Brightwell Neo products and use of Hanna checkers I’ve been able to find my average NO3 consumption is about .575ppm per day. However, I still have yet to identify a trend in PO4 usage. Using Brightwell instructions I should see a .01ppm increase per ~7.5ml dosed. I’ve increased this dosage to slowly to 20ml daily and still haven’t seen an increase beyond 0 on the Hanna ULR checker.
Based on Nitrate results would it be relatively safe to assume a ratio (10:1) NO3 PO4. Meaning I should attempt to dose >.05ppm/day of PO4 in order to have detectable levels of phosphate?
Likely overthinking here, but really trying to prevent the constant “0”
