I've been struggling to get my Phosphates up, and have been dosing NeoPhos to try and raise the levels. According to the Brightwell calculaiton on the bottle, I should only be dosing 1ml to achieve a .03 reading. My Phosphate is still at zero, so have been gradually increasing my dose daily and I'm up to 5 ml, with still no results. According to the calc on the bottle, 5ml should result in a .15 reading.
My routine is test the levels, then dose, then check again at the same time the next day. Out of curiosity, I tested again after 2 hours. I would think I would get a reading after this short amount of time. Still zero. Would you expect to Phosphate show up on a test 2 hours after dosing?
I'm using a Salifert test kit which I verified is accurate (mixed a measure amount of NeoPhos in a measured amount of fresh saltwater and test kit returned expected results).
Thank you,
Jib
