For a little back story, I’ve been battling white slime for weeks now, that I believe was caused by an ultra low nutrient system and jump started by aerosols being used in the house. Many threads online suggested Dr. Tim’s Refresh and Waste Away. I’ve been doing this regimen for weeks now with little to no improvement. I came across a thread last night of someone posting about a similar slime issue and a commenter noted that getting nutrients up would solve the issue and to stop Dr. Tim’s as it was only making the situation worse and keeping nutrients now. Now to my question, I purchased Seachem Flourish Phosphorous but am very unsure how much to use to raise my Phosphates from 0 to around 0.03. I have a 13.5 gallon tank with roughly 10 gallons of water volume. Does anyone have any experience with dosing this stuff? (Sorry so long)

I dosed a similar product when my nutrients zeroed out. I have this furry stuff on my rocks. The bottle should tell you how much to dose/gallon to increase po4 a certain amount.

Yeah I figured the bottle will have some sort of directions but this product was made for planted freshwater tanks so I was hesitant to follow the same directions.
