The tank is 2 yrs old,just rescaped a little with marco prime cuts to get more spots for colonies(cured the rock untiln0 phos reading)i hosestly don't care about the numbers until im getting tip burn,rtn ect,i think that was more no3 being low than p04
Here's something to add. Forever I ran a skimmer and doses bacteria to keep no3 very very low. Never worried about my p04 since I could hever get any color or readings so I thought it was 0. But I always got quite a bit of green algae on the walls and back glass. Said the heck with it and added a gfo and carbon reactor, took two weeks and my glass and back algae was gone. So regardless the test kits red 0 there something there regarding p04. Wasn't there a thread on the difference between in-organics and none organice p04?
Anyone have adverse effects of 0 phos, likely not really 0 though, Just orders low range phosphorus hanna meter
Ok, Ive never been able to color up my acros. They constantly stay brown. My NO3 has been near ZERO for ever and my PO4 is constantly jumping around from .00-.06... I feed frozen food 2-3 times daily. Im trying to get my NO3 up. I took out half of my Marine Pure balls in my sump and took out about half of my macro algae. My skimmer is now shut off. Im starting to dose potassium nitrate to raise my NO3... Will this effect my PO3? I was confused reading this that some additive will counteract the other. My aim is to shoot for 5ppm NO3 and keep PO4 at least readable and see if my acros will color up.
