Dosed 9ML of Phosphate E by mistake

Zeal · Aug 28, 2020

Title, just dosed 9ML of Phosphate E by mistake, I read the bottle wrong... I have a Nuvo 40g with maybe 15iiiiish pounds of rock

Tank looks a bit cloudy. I’m making water right now to do a WC.

As of Wednesday my Phosphates were 0.147 I was trying to drop it under 0.06....

Helppppppp

Start by checking your phosphate level now. What is it?

lanthanum chloride works fast. So if you’re not zero now, just feed more to bring it up. And as phosphate gets harder to find to bind to, it will take up your alkalinity. So if you have SPS watch that parameter as well.

A water change now won’t help you bring up phosphates but it may help you get rid of some precipitate. That’s probably why it’s cloudy. Hopefully your fish are doing ok.

Fish seem fine lights about to go out... how can it effect my fish? I put 6ML directly into my skimmer and 3ML on the filter pad.
