i mixed up an 800ml bottle with 6 tablespoons of phosphate which should have given me .99 ppm per ml dosed in a 20 gal. well i did my 50%water change and dose 1 ml and i checked my phosphate level and was reading well over 5 ppm(highest my test kit goes) so i checked my tap water to see if there was a spike and there was maybe .5 ppm of phosphate. so i dont understand why my mixture was soo powerful and caused such a high level of phosphate. any ideas? i just started using his ferts today since i just recieved them. so i have never made a batch before.
