formula 1 contains phosphates?

[bawla47]

hi, im sorry if thats a no brainer, but i just dont know about what breaks down into what. etc.

My clown was picky at first, but hes eating formula 1 now, frozen.


i think my phosphates are kind of high. at first i thought it was when i first began my water changes and topping off with tap water, been using R/O water, but only 2- 10% water changes so far. do you think my food could be keeping it up? 85% of the food gets eaten, but a few tiny pieces gets sucked into the filter.

also, does will my water get more clearer when phosphates are 0? i see some tanks and there crystal clear, but i noticed when i got more light, the tank doesnt seem as clear now.

thanks in advance!

All fish food contains some degree of phosphates. Phosphates should not affect the clarity of the water.

How are you preparing the food prior to feeding the tank? Are you using RO or RO/DI water?
