just setting up a new 5 ft tank for soft coral/lps and prior to cycling I tested all the parameters so I had a baseline to work from.
All fine except high phosphate at 0.6
I used dry rock, dry substrate etc so very surprised at that level. I have tested my RO filtered water and it shows zero as it should.
As no biological matter had been introduced I can only surmise it has leached out of the rocks or substrate.
Im hoping Its a one off and I can get rid of the Po4 with some thing like rowa phos? Is that the best option?
