Hi there,
I'm in an interesting situation where my nitrates are much higher than I'd like (~25ppm) and my phosphates are undetectable via hanna reader.
Normally I'd just do water changes over the next couple weeks to get this back in line, but I'm battling dinoflagellates so that's kind of a no go.
My plan to reduce nitrates is carbon dosing, but I'm not comfortable doing that without adding a bit of phosphate as I do have SPS in the tank and I've experienced what a phosphate bottom out can do.
My LFS carried this product. I did the math and for my 90 gallon I could ad 0.5mL to raise PO4 to 0.03ppm and then test a few days later while starting carbon dosing very slowly. Any thoughts?
