Hey, I just checked my phosphate for the first time today and well.. its up there. (.34 :redface:) What your test reading? and can you keep us informed about your readings after?
My rock its at least 8 years old 6.5 of which were in neglected dirty tanks that probably never had water changes, they didnt have heaters or even power heads! This is what Im blaming my po4 on..:razz:
I have been running bio pellets for about 1 month now and hope its going down..
Thanks for the info and keep us informed.

Cade.

HC GFO...???

Hey Cade, yeah my P04 started at 0.35ppm, then jumped up to 0.41ppm, then 0.30ppm, NOW 0.19ppm yes still sucks, but coming down. I actually haven't tried the phosphate down, I used some Tailored Aquatics Phosphate Destroyer...love it and no phosphate percipitate people were talking about with the phosphate down (at least not yet). And yes I do water changes, 20% every week, but hell yes i over feed. I can admit it. But slowly getting better with it.

No opinions from me, just facts. You feed your fish too much, because you're a sucky mom that thinks they're cute while eating. :razz:

I use Zeo, you should too. (< product advice to stay on track)
