![]() Well I think I will give this a try in a few days. I did my water change and am just waiting for the phosphates to build back up a bit. Strange thing is I had a fair amount of detritus this time where there has been none the last four weeks. It looks like the green coralline is finally disappearing as well. Hopefully this means it is getting close, I am getting impatient.

![]() Is there a light source near the tub, or does it have a closed lid?

![]() No light. It is in a room with no windows in the basement. It has a lid but it doesn't cover the entire top because it has changed shape from the weight of the water.

![]() You could do a few big big water changes. When i cooked all my rock for my 125 I waited for it all to cycle and then the p04 was really high I did a 100% WC on the rock and washed it off quick in the old water put it in new water added a bag go GFO close to the Power head and next week tested again and P04 was gone
For the most part the phosphate is in the water not the rocks

![]() I do weekly 100% water changes. By the end of the week I'm reading at least 1ppm. I'm not running gfo though.
