The power of the heat test

If you do not do a heat test for PO4 you will not know what your value truly is, this is so important and leads people to think algae issues are not PO4 related as they see a zero value. As the above shows, unless you do a heat test you are not getting the true and accurate value.

Ok so carry on as planned using the Ultra power phos to the instructed amount for 7 -14 days or until you get zero reading under heat test conditions.

Yep its powerful stuff If you want rid of PO4 then this stuff really kicks ass and is cheaper than most other brands too!

You now need to go onto maintenance regime of it, and then look at nutrient reduction ways to keep better ontop of the PO4, such as Ultra Bio, Ultra Bak etc.

Will sort out a tub of 500ml for you to continue the review for the next month.
