Nope, it goes "poof!". It disappears in the night. Sometimes I see little tiny hangy bits but for the most part its just gone.



Tony, I agree, phosphate tests are pretty useless. I think any phosphates I do have in the tank are immediately tied up by the gross amount of caulerpa I have in the main tank and the refugium (the refugium isn't doing as fantastic a job as I would have hoped). I think Seachem has a test that detects both organic and inorganic phosphate but I could be wrong.

Then again I'm running phosban so there shouldn't be any phosphates in my tank at all if it works
