phosphate

Hello, ive been dealing with Undetectable Phosphates , normally i test with Hanna Checker. 1 month ago, i move the sand abprutly to test the next day and they were around 0.75 PPM, then checked again after 3 days they were around 0.20 ppm, then again until 0.00 PPM. So i guess they are...

Hanna Low Range Phosphate Photometer, Alk, Cal, Phos, PH - $300 shipped for all 5 Checkers and cases. This is a brand new and unused kit. It’s not the newest model. Comes in a nice padded hard case.

Yeah the title sums it up. Phosphate was 0.7 so I used GFO and nopox to get it down to zero. Got dino, let the tank dirty out for months fed food, skimmer offline. Dino went away and now I have 25 nitrate and zero phosphate. Luckily I only have a couple of softies in the tank so nothing too...

I was surprised there wasn't a post about this already, but we finally have some more details about the Mastertronic! I'm a big fan of my Alkatronic and really want a auto tester for Nitrate and Phosphate, so this is def on my radar. It'll be interesting to see how they price it relative to...

Ive been reading mixed things about this topic. What do you guys think?

Alright, where to to begin. I have had a 80 gallon with a 30 gallon sump tank running for almost a year and a half after a restart. I got dry rock and dry sand, which is a mistake on my part, and I am on a fun roller coaster right now. Around 5 months into my restart things were going okay...

I often wonder how wild reefs are able to grow and thrive with such low levels of dissolved nutrients - namely nitrates and phosphates. I have an SPS/Acropora dominant tank and I maintain KNO3 solution on a dosing pump just to keep the corals alive - I try to maintain nitrates up to 5ppm...

So - a recent thread reminded me of a question - how often do people clean their skimmer neck/cup. I do not do it regularly - and it tends to have a thick coating of 'gunk'. I always wondered if that was putting bad stuff 'back' into the tank - though I dont think it does. Answer the poll -...

How to Control Phosphate Using Hanna Phosphate Checkers and GFO Media PLUS: New gear from GHL, Eheim, Coral Essentials, and Brightwell Aquatics!

Hello! Over the years this has been one of my favorite subjects. A while back I noticed my tanks doing a lot better with more NO3 than PO4. When the NO3 matched the PO4 on the lower side the tank begin to grow hair algae in the sump, and dark brown algae on the rocks, overflow box, sand-bed...

There are a bunch of models. What is the most appropriate one for monitoring phosphates at reef levels?

I know...I have a problem. I was organizing my supply cabinet and realized I have clearly accumulated more test kits than should ever be necessary. BUT it has been helpful having everything I need at arms reach, and the ease of use of these kits has caused me to test consistently, which I’m...

I have a 180 gal mixed reef about a year old. I’ve been using GFO kind of blindly off and on for the last several months, I don’t use the GFO unless progress seems to slow down and it has always seemed to help my corals grow better again but I’ve read several horror stories about overuse of GFO...

My phosphate level (with Hanna UL checker is running in the 0.1 level. I would like to drop it to below this as recommended. I have been feeding less in general (mysis in the PM and pellets in the AM) and have about 8 fish, none bigger than about 2 inches in a 100 gallon with about 20 gal...

How to Lower Phosphates in a Reef Tank VIDEO: Mastering Nutrient Control

My phosphates are reading at about .25 and I am getting algae growth on my rocks. I am also going to assume that the algae is eating the phosphates which makes them seem lower than what they actually are. Before I started my reef tank my phosphates were extremely high like 10ppm+ so i dosed...

Currently I’m letting my tank fallow. I’m on my 5th week and I got till 72 days. Had ich and trying to get rid of it. When I first started a while back I used tap water to fill up my tank knowing better. I had an insane amount of algae I’m my tank. Did some research and got an rodi unit. I had...

My tank is reading Nitrates around 1 and Phosphates 0.04. The tank looks fine corals healthy and colourful, cheato is growing in refugium nicely, (hair algae in there too :( ) Should I take it as a false negative ie the cheato is using all the nitrates or would I need to increase it slightly...

Hi Tim and everyone :) I am in the process of rebuilding my tank and switching to the full Triton method. I see that the recommendation is to switch between AL99 and RowaPhos on a regular basis in order for the Rowa to remove any aluminium that has leached from the AL99. My question is why...
