Do you have a phosphate test kit as well?

Hi Megalodon, I managed to dig up my phosphate kit and will include as well.



Greenmaster, the algae scrubber is closed at the moment. I might wait till all nitrates are removed from the closed system before I introduce any flow from the display tank.

Let's say it takes 5 days to remove all nitrate from the 3 gallons. I'll set the flow to match that turnover. Don't think it would make any difference to the algae, but I would like to see if I can keep the effluent of the scrubber at O nitrates.......assuming it even works at all.
