Hello everyone,
I've had the tank running for a year and I had a crazy high Phosphate 4 months ago. Hannah checker did not even read it as it was royal blue.(200+). Started running gfo and made water changes weekly. It got to a readable amount and ive gone as low as 40 on the checker but im...
The weirdest thing has been going on while testing. So I have the hanna phosphorus ULR and the Phosphate readers. So I know they have a conversion chart for the phosphorus and for some reason I had a 200 plus ppb reading last night. So i was like no way something happened while testing. I said...

I’m curious what is the most PO4 you’ve needed to dose daily. If you’ve ever had a tank drinking it down or currently have one drinking now you’ll know what I’m taking about. I’ve set a personal record with this tank at 0.16 ppm daily and the tank is still drinkin’ like she’s ready for more...

So I just realize now that I’m down to a couple and needed to reorder I’ve been using the wrong solution with my Phosphorous ULT tester. I’ve been using the regent for the Phosphate ULR. Any ideas how far off my readings would be by making this stupid mistake?
I received some ICP results that said my phosphorus might be limited. I do not run GFO and I feel like my refugium has been struggling slightly also recently. My nitrates have been steady between 4-6 ppm, but it seems like phosphorus could be a limiting factor. Should I start dosing Phosphorus...
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...
I'm currently battling what I thought was Dinoflagellates. @mcarroll has ID this for me as Chrysophytes. Here is a background on my tank and where I am now.

Hi all,
I have phosphorus levels of 35 ppb (0.1 ppm phosphate) in freshly mixed saltwater, measured with Hanna Phosphorus ULR Checker. Help me out.

I've been using it for three months and just tested it. Phosphorus came out...
