How high is your phosphate?
What are the rest your tank parameters?
Do you know *why* your phosphates suddenly skyrocketed?

What method are your currently using to remove PO4?

 

[Waterjockey]

There are several options for PO4 removal, the most common being gfo.
What did your phosphates last test at?
As @FDAWG asked, what have you been using to export phosphates up to now?
