Im 40g nuvo P04 .113!!

[LeBranche]

40g nuvo I just recently purchased an ultra low Hanna phosphate checker and can’t believe phosphates .113 and I did it twice!! I have been battling phosphates for a while and have cut back in feeding, added a refugium (2 months ago), roa (1 month ago), and I get RO water from work (dialysis) tds <5, rejection 98%, < .01 chloramine, <1gr gal hardness. I do 5 gal weekly changes, this week did 10gal water change. No skimmer. I bought a reactor I dunno if I should hook it up with the Roa instead of the mesh sack in the filter socks? I have also more sps than anything, seen growth on most, one Acro couple weeks ago did get RTN.

THis is what I use for mine and it works great. that's not real bad though. as long as your under 1. remember you do need some in the water for your corals. don't get them to 0. have you check the water before you put it into the tank?

I’m going to check the RO water tonight.

TDS under 5 or .5, I run a DI stage but out the membrane I am usually at 2 or less. I would look at the source water myself.

RO Water resulted 0 with Hanna Ultra low meter

What type of food do you feed?

 

[LeBranche]

Misis, very little once every other day, pellet food in the green lid jar just enough for the fish( once a day).... I was feeding reef roids and reef chili two times a week but haven’t in three weeks. I just hooked up a reactor with Rowa see how it goes

So I was using rowa in a mesh bag for sometime now and just switched the same contents which wasn’t much to a reactor and wow!!! Within 24hrs from .113 to .04!!! ... I took off the reactor in line and did little light reef roids ... I’ve heard of dropping too fast is very bad.
