In my 75 gallon FOWLR I currently have a phosphate level of .5 ppm its been like for 4 to 6 weeks now. I tested the source water and it reads 0. I read somewhere that phosphate can establish in mature tanks.
I have a HOB refugium with LS, LR, and Chaeto in it. The Chaeto is growing pretty rapidly and i do need to trim it. Its also full of all kinds of Pods and Tunicates.
My questions are:
Is there any natural way to get rid of Phosphate?
I know doing PWC should reduce it, which i do once a week about 15 gallons worth or 20%.
Or should i just build or buy a phosban reactor to solve the problem?
