I wouldn't dose anymore and just let it ride. Then I would wait at least A-day or 2 then test again and see where you're at depending on your consumption or export port then I would check and see if I would need to dose again.

Thats what i thought tooI wouldn't dose anymore and just let it ride. Then I would wait at least A-day or 2 then test again and see where you're at depending on your consumption or export port then I would check and see if I would need to dose again.
Update yesterday i dosed a little to much po4 from 0.00 to 0.16 (i know im a lil idiot )so i did a water chance now it is 0.10 i know that sudden spikes are not good but should i leave i like this? I dont want to mess around that much with a lot of swings
Not much no but i got me to 0.10I doubt the water change did much useful for phosphate, but 0.10 ppm is a fine value.
Not much no but i got me to 0.10
That range makes me more happier then 0.16
And my nitrates went down with it too
I just tested it it reads 0.05 nowI would not be sure it dropped it much at all, rather than having it bind to rock and sand, and get used.
Nitrate is dropped much more readily by water change than is phosphate due to thephosphate bound to rock and sand.
I just tested it it reads 0.05 now
Does thats means its consumption or is it in the rock and sand
Should i leave it like this then or should i dose a littleCould be test variation, consumption by organisms, or binding to rock and sand.
Likely, it's some combination of all three.
Should i leave it like this then or should i dose a little
Yes im aware of that a d i dont want to go low nutrientIf you are consistently getting a nonzero value, dosing may not be needed, but is unlikely to be a problem unless it gets quite high.
Some great tanks have 1 ppm phosphate.
