Hey guys,
some Phos questions.
So 0 phos in my tank lately (hanna chekcer), dinoflagellate outbreak- covered my sand, rocks, corals etc. Turned lights off in my tank 3 days, dosed 15 ml of NeoPhos for 250g. (According to directions, 19mls would have given me a level of 0.02 for the tank). Hanna recheck after 24 hours gave me a reading of 0.4?! Retested immediately- 0.04. okay whew. Today after 5 days since initial dose- Hanna says 0.39. Rechecked. 0.36. What is going on?! How dangerous is this? Right now corals look okay, fish are fine but puffer acting stressed and nems are hiding. (1 I cant find, 1 is just hunkered down). Is Hanna wrong? Did the phos level really go up that dramatically with 15ml? Should I run GFO?
(As of now (whites just on 1% but blues on for 2 days)- no dinos! Knock on wood!)
