Phosphate levels in question

[Latinreefer]

I have a new set up with mature rock from my previous tank and also water. I have been checking all my levels 3 times and week and everything is great except my phos, I think. My hanna checker says my level is 0.24 and my salifert is 0. I have 3 fish and feed super light and I have a great skimmer and I dose vinegar. I have no algae growth not even on the glass, which of the two test should I trust. I will try to visit a friend or LFS and see what level they detect.

Thanks

i have issues with phos too. never heard of dosing vinegar though. is that effective? whats your ratio per gallon?

Hanna Checkers are very sensitive. The only one i have any luck with is the alk. checker. Thats i good idea to check against another kit and then you will know which one is accurate.
