Skeptical Reefkeeping IX: Test Kits, Chasing Numbers and Phosphate

From the editors note:

In Skeptical Reefkeeping IX, Rich Ross is joined by our old friend Chris Jury as they try to come to terms with the "impossible" yet confirmed PO4 readings in Rich's gorgeous reef. The analysis is thorough, thought- provoking, grounded in science and suggestive of a far more complex picture regarding PO4 and its role in our aquariums.​

Thale thanks for the work on your great artical, I posted a link to it my local club site as soon as it came out and it was a large topic @ our club meeting yesterday. I've also been enjoying the bebate on another site!

Thanks Guerry

That would explain why I'm getting exponential growth from my leptastrea "despite" an API phosphate reading of 2...

I'm curious where Borneman took his PO4 averages from; he states average reef PO4 is .13ppm. The article states high nutrient reefs run around .09ppm.
