Aquarium Advice Addict
I've got a FW and SW tank so I couldn't decide which forum to put this in so hopefully it's ok here.
When I last added stock I had the lfs do a water test just to make sure I've been good reading mine. Everything on 2 tanks came back fine except for a high phosphate level. I tested when I got home and its at 2.0 in both tanks.
I figure RO water is the perfect solution but not for my pocketbook right now unfortunately.
What will phosphate do and how do I remove it? PWC's? Or can I use the fluval clear max on my fw? The SW I can put some clearmax in my aquaclear in a bag. Or is there a chemical solution? Not my first choice tho....
