Phosphates after almost 2 months of dosing: 0.14 and that includes 3-4 ml on accident the other day setting up my overflow air "undoser".

Our tanks were set up at about the same time so I doubt it's the rocks soaking it up. It could be the food as well since you house more fish than I do.

I also got most of my rocks and a lot of sand from an old and possibly negelected tank. Based on how stuck they were at 0.7 for a long time it must have absorbed into the rocks.

Not 100% positive but I think my torch is budding...

Also, is it a Tiger? Not that I care about names or anything, it's just got these cool stripey tentacles.

Possibly. I got about half of my rocks dry from an old tank tear down and made the other half. But I'd imagine that after a year they'd be mostly balanced...
