Just caught a problem with my dosing setup (I was told to check this by waynemah as it screwed him too)...
My dosing pump output for my ZEOStart3 was mounted nicely with the end of the tube under the water... well, about 1/4 of the end of the tube was PLUGGED TIGHT, and hence I was not actually dosing any Start.
This has now been re-mounted with the end of the tube mounted suspended nicely above the water line.
I don't know how long it was plugged, but my PO4 readings had jumped from 0.03 to 0.17 over the last 10 days, so I'd say it wasn't plugged too long.
Moral: mount your dosing tubes so they drip OVER the water, not INSIDE the water.
