Tl:dr - How long does ChemiPure Elite take to drop phosphates?
Longer version - for a variety of reasons my phosphates spiked recently. Had been holding steady at .05 - 0.15 for a few months. Jumped to 0.75.
I added a skimmer and a bag of ChemiPure Elite (carbon + GFO) to my 65 gallon AIO.
It’s been a week and the phosphates have dropped to 0.41 so it’s helping!
My questions are:
1) How long does it typically take to get the phosphates down to a healthy level using something like ChemiPure Elite?
2) As I’m working on dropping the phosphates, how often should I change out the ChemiPure Elite?
Thanks!
