I agree that it is just a Brightwell recommendation of the phosphate level that should be maintainined, and they do not know any more about suitable target levels than most reefers using this site.

I would also suggest that food grade sodium phosphate (such as from Amazon) is much cheaper and carries a purity guarantee that the Brightwell products lacks. I see no reason to pick Neophos unless you need it the same day and an LFS has it.

Would that be monobasic or dibasic? Can’t seem to find just plain sodium phosphate

Mono, di or tribasic are the only choices, and each is fine. It’s mostly just a pH difference between then.
