Low Phosphate levels,how do I raise them?

[Oliver d]

My phosphate levels have bottomed out reading of 0.00 on Red Sea Pro phosphate test kit.How can I now raise my phosphate level back up to 0.02/0.04?

I put it in the tank

This is what my LFS had. So I am using it.

You can either feed more, dose phosphate, or maybe run skimmer less. I would suggest the hanna ulr phosphorus checker if you plan on running that low. It's more accurate, which is key when running near 0. Start slow whatever you do!

I would also suggest that you get the Hanna ULR kit first before you consider dosing. Adding things to the tank that you can't accurately test for is inviting trouble, and since you're likely to want to run somewhere between 50 and 300 ppb of phosphate, that's probably below the detection level for the Red Sea test, and certainly below the limit of quantitation.

Thanks,Dont really want to run it low it simply bottomed out I know I dont feed enough but with only 3 fish there is no reason to feed a lot everything else in my tank are corals and clams
