Friday night update:
The trisodium phosphate from loudwolf showed up and I made my first batch of phosphate solution from it. Using this calculator: http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/calculator.htm
The total amount in the bottle I ordered is 113 grams.
Here’s the run down on how I dosed my system:
My total water in my system is 240 gallons ish.
Using 2 teaspoons of trisodium phosphate mixed into 475 ml (2 cups) of RO/DI water.
Adding 7 ml of this solution would raise my phosphate to 0.07ppm.
I’m out of reagents for my Hanna checker at this moment, but will order some tonight.
I did dose 7 ml to the tank. Why do this? Because I know when my Montipora caps pale a little, there is most likely no or little P04 in the system.
Give it a day or two and I’ll see if it helped. It should as it has in all the other times in the past.
My filter lens kit has shipped and is on its way. ETA is sometime next week.
