I have a 55g that I was battling cyano in I won! This time, lol! Anyway I have gotten my phosphates down to .08 but haven't been able to get them to .02 my goal to add SPS. When I was fighting cyano I was running 2 cups of GFO in a reactor, 12 tbs of GAC. I was running double for a 55g. This past Sunday I started using HC GFO from BRS. Using 3/4 cup not quite double my recommended dose. I rinse frozen cube that I feed every other day. I keep and eye on my RO/DI water. I switched from 2 part to kalk ato since kalk is supposed to help dissipate phosphate. I wanna see .02 at one time my nitrtaes were 160ppm and phosphates were high can't remember what they were. But they were bad. Nitrates are now steady at .75ppm according to Red Sea Pro test kits. Phosphates range between .06-.08 using Red Sea Pro. I do 2 7g water changes one on Sunday and one on Thursday every week. I run an oversized skimmer that has helped a lot. I just wanna tweek it to get that .02 level. Any suggestions? I have been dosing vinegar for about 7 weeks now and I am up to 28.6mL a day. Its set up on a BRS doser it runs from 11:00am-11:13am and 6:00pm-6:13pm at 1.1mL a minute. I have been increaseing 4mL a week. Thanks in advance
