LaurieinIA Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 My phosphates were out of control… maxed out on the API test. I know the source is my tap water, but buying/hauling RO water is not an option right now. I purchased Phos-zorb and put it in a week ago. Testing shows they are down to 2.0. Still a long way to go, but getting there. Will this packet of Phos-zorb take it any lower or is it likely exhausted already? Is there a better product that is easy to use in a HOB?

This photo is about 3-4 months ago, so they have filled out more. All live except the hornwort looking one on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Leaving phosphates at 2ppm is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The algae issue is looking much better in just a weeks time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
