I am puzzled. I am dosing the recommended dose of NeoPhos but my tank is still testing 0.00.
Background - I was using NoPox to lower my Nitrates and Phosphates a few months ago. I was testing with a Hanna checker. The Nitrates came down and the phosphates showed 0.03 but must have been lower. I had dinos (LCA) bloom. I have been dosing silicates for two weeks and trying to get my phosphates up to 0.10.
I am dosing 25 ml of NeoPhos in a 120g tank but am not seeing any effect. I am using a Salifert test (I was told the silicates confuse the Hanna tester).
I have read that the tank could be carbon blocked which I do not understand. Thinking that I should had a carbon source like NoPox that caused the problem.
