I'm not sure it matters if it isn't leaching enough iron to actually detect via Triton.

Very interesting guys.i just realized i have a lot of reading to do.the knowledge you both have acquired leaves my head spinning.taken an excedrin.going to sleep on this topic and definitely dive into the books tomorrow.. haaaa. enjoyed your discussion .just getting started my last tank was 5 years ago and i am researching all the info i can absorb.definitely will be following you two for sure.looking for tried and true information on equipment .The aquatic market is over whelming ..
Could this be that too high a flow rate too soon drops po4 too quickly? Something we know SPS don’t like? I don’t know.
I cannot see how a high flow rate would cause an increase in phosphate depletion.
I guess I was considering the theory in the thread that new zeolites potentially leached iron and in turn dropped phosphate quickly? Not saying this is or isn’t valid, just trying to make sense of it all, if that’s even possible
You tested it?
Not sure I said it binds phosphate. It wa some one earlier in the post that said in theory it could release iron or a form of it (I’m not a chemistry whizz) via different possible mechanisms and that in turn is what is causing the phosphate to be taken out of the water. I’m just trying to make sense of is all and wondered if that theory is along the right lines could that be why Kz advise a slow introduction.
it would be good understand how it works but I’m not sure anyone’s got there yet. They must do something, multiple large manufacturers still use them and in their coral farms.
