If you are like me and use NeoMarine salt mix have you tested phosphate on you freshly mixed salt water mix? I have been battling phosphate for a while now, I’m thinking it might be from the rock I put in the tank that might be leeching phosphate into the tank, so I’m performing water changes multiple times a week to no avail, so I decided to put some phosphate media in a filter bag and place in the sump. I run phosphate media for 4 days and finally got it down to .10.
Now I’m ready to do 15% water change and decided to test phosphate on my salt water mixed (im not sure if it made a difference that the water mixed sat for 3 days in my garage with a powerhead), i was suprised to see the phosphate was at 0.50.
Note: I also have a fuge with chaeto.
