About two months ago I started running bio-pellets. I defiantly seemed to lower my phosphates but now it seems to just stay at 0.3. Should I add more pellets? Or?
Also the pellets don't seem to reduce in size. When should I start seeing that?
What are your nitrates at? The bacteria need both nitrate and phosphate at a ratio of 16/1. If your nitrates bottomed out then you would need to feed more to get your phosphates to go down.

Yeah once your nitrates get to zero your phosphates will either go up or not move at all. In your case I would consider removing some pellets, buying more fish or just feeding more. But that's with me making alot of assumptions including that you don't have a algae issue.
