My tank is about 3.5 years old. I have nice growth and colors. Ive stopped testing Nitrate and Po4 because things are good. Occasionally I get curious what my levels are. I tested and i have 0.45 po4 My nitrates are staying at 5 -10. I do 5gallons a day water changes (220g system) and I run an Algae reactor that I havent harvested in months. Im looking for a long term Phosphate reducer.
Normally, when Po4 climbs like this on me, i throw some GFO in a reactor and call it a day. Sometimes i will also do a couple of big water changes to lower it a bit as well. Im not a fan of constantly changing out GFO and cycling the po4. Is there anything that is a steady po4 remover that I can match to the amount the tank creates so I can hold my Po4 at a given level?
