Hello!
I have a reef tank with softies and fish. Tank is AIO 47 gal and have had it since February. Fish and corals look good but corals are growing slowly. I change water every 2,weeks (20%) and use Ro/DI water, and salt water from LFS. Today, I tested phosphates using Hannah checker and phosphate was 0.9! I tested again and it was 0.86. I use carbon and change it monthly. My nitrates were also high at 33. I admit that I am bad at testing phosphate so not sure how long it has been high. I did a 20% water change tonight. My question is “should I dose Phosphat-E” and if yes, what is the dosage. I have it but have never used it. Always nervous about using a chemical. As always, thank you for any advice.
