    My overall system is 340gal and pretty heavily stocked, however I consistently dose Brightwell's 5X Nitrate and Phosphate to keep those from bottoming out entirely. Is there an upside to notching up my Nitrate+Phosphate dosing slightly, and then dosing carbon at the same time? Are there...

    Phosphate leaching from carib sea life rock

    Hi all, recently set up my new tank using caribsea life rock and broken up established live rock. I currently have a phosphate reading of 0.24ppm. Could phosphate be leaching from the life rock? I’ve added around 70g of rowaphos but it doesn’t seem to be lowering. Thanks!

    Hi all, I have an Ultra Low hanna phosphate checker but bought the incorrect reagent. Instead of getting the ultra low reagent I got the low range reagent by mistake. Do you know if you can still get an accurate reading using the low range reagents on the ultra low checker? Thanks!
