Best Method to Reduce PO4

[Lavey29]

I’ve only dosed MB7 when I set up this tank.

Check out PNS probio. That stuff really cleaned up my tank. Doesn't foul the skimmer and reduces excess nutrients too. All natural bacteria.

Will do thanks.

For time being, picked up some BRS GFO and MB7 from my LFS.

I feel like I need to write another acronym here…

So right before I removed the Phosguard and installed GFO, I tested for Phosphate and it at 0.2ppm! So, trending in the right direction. Also increased the fuge light duration and added a dose of MB7...But after all of these adjustments I retested and PO4 is still at 0.2ppm (which is good it's not dropping fast) and NO3 is at 0!

So, I fed the tank today and cut that refugium light back to the 12 hours. Balancing act and finding this tanks' sweet spots...

Do you dose MB7 every day or once a week?

When I used it i dosed very lightly and tested nutrient 24-48 hours later. I was advised and also believe to respect the power of bacteria!
