Phosphate question

[Calireefer92]

Hey reefers need some help I tested my tank using Hanna phosphorus ulr and I got 30ppb on Hanna conversion chart it’s 0.092ppm my question is should I bring it down a little or leave it where it is? If I need to bring it down I have Rowa phos how much should I add?

I would monitor it a bit and if it creeps up lower it. Use half of recommended dose of RowaPhos.

When I use the Rowaphos calculator online would I use 0.9 or 0.092? Because I type them both in it gives me to different measurements to use

0.9 is 10 times more then 0.09. Use 0.09 for your calculations, but add half of calculated amount.

Leave it alone. That po4 level is fine.

What is your po4 range.
Mine is .05 to .1.
Phosgaurd it what I use.
Its simple to use and does not create the gfo mess.
Just follow the directions and monitor levels.

That level of Phosphate is fine, I wouldn't touch it.

First you need to establish your range. I add po4 reducer when I get any reading above 0.1 on my systems because thats the range I want to run.
I know how much to add to bring it to .05. I still take a reading 2 hrs after dosing just make sure. I have used this method for quite sometime now.
Once you get it dialed its pretty easy.
