U have corals?? Yea get it down
.03-.05 is most peoples go to number but u see .1 is good.
What corals are you planing on getting? If you plan on softies and LPS then I wouldn't worry about a .09 P04. If you plan on going with SPS then you can lower it a little. There are many opinions on what you should run it at for corals. I run mine at .07 and have had no issues with SPS. Softies and LPS like a little dirtier tank, meaning a little higher N03 and P04.
Hello,
Rowaphos is a good product, but I would suggest trying to find the source and handle it naturally to start. That is not super high. Where is your nitrate at? You want those to be balanced.
I would try to adjust feeding or find the source of your phosphate rather than starting gfo when alternative are available
Again, this is often opinion driven as their have been as many successful tanks with N03 and P04 at 25-30 N03 and .2 P04 as their have been with ULN. I would first try to keep it at 20 ppm N03 and below .1 P04 and adjust from there.no plans on sps, mainly LPS, what lvl would you say not to go above? Keep saying .03 in threads so mine being .092had me worried.

I agree 100% with @Billldg . With what you are planning to keeping I think your numbers look great. I would say with you at 10 and .1 that is a good balance for leathers and such. I would ask first if you have an algae problem? If not than no reason to react, nothing to resolve. Also, most likely you softer corals can uses those along with other things to grow. Just keep feeding in check to avoid a spike in nutrient
Those tanks are usually already mature with colonies of corals. Not a good idea when buying frags in a newer tankAgain, this is often opinion driven as their have been as many successful tanks with N03 and P04 at 25-30 N03 and .2 P04 as their have been with ULN.
