Any links ?
Has anyone confirmed this product to be good ? What's the mixture ?
Just to clarify, that stock solution is 1090 ppm phosphate (1.88 x 0.58 g/L or 1.09 g/L or 1,090 mg/L).
Adding 1 ml per liter of tank water will boost phosphate by 1 mg/L.
Adding 1 mL per 100 L of tank water will boost phosphate by 0.01 ppm.
Phosphate is 58% (57.93 % ) of trisodium phosphate. 1.88 is the grams of TP you will need to achieve about 1090 mg/l PO4 in the solution (1.88x0.58=1.09)My chemistry years are way behind me. Can someone confirm a mix ratio? The Trisodium Phosphate (TP) is dry, so is it: 0.58grams of TP to 1L of RO/DO water? Where is the 1.88 number coming from? I have the powder, but need to make the solution.

Perfect - thank you!Phosphate is 58% (57.93 % ) of trisodium phosphate. 1.88 is the grams of TP you will need to achieve about 1090 mg/l PO4 in the solution (1.88x0.58=1.09)
So you need to dissolve 1.88 g of trisodium phosphate to form 1 liter solution with 1090mg/L PO4 in it.
Actually I doubt Randy would give this 1.88 grams because it is not very accurate if you want 1000 mg/l PO4 solution
If the TSP is pure and anhydrous it will be 1.726 grams TSP to 1 liter water to form 1000 mg/L solution
(1,726x0.5793= 999 mg/L)
But because food grade TSP is probably partially hydrated I would say there is no big deal to use 1.88 grams per liter

lollol
I would say that 2 g/L is likely perfectly close enough since tank water volume is imprecise, a potentially large and unknown fraction will bind to rock and sand, and dosing is typically by trial and error.
Why have you got ULN to start with? Do you use some chemicals to reduce nutrients in the first place or are simply lacking fish and other live creatures in your tank?
I am not the OP
sorry Only corallivore feces were ok for corals but fortunately or not we are not keeping coral eating fish and corals together in our tanks.
It's a bare bottom and and 120Gal with only about 8 fish, Mostly damsels and I have a Scopas tang but he's still small (3 inches). Currently my Resident Purple Pesudochromis kills any new additions like the 6 line wrasse I added..
