OK,
I am officially losing the battle to PO4.
I have set up the new tank and have no fish yet, just live sand.
All my other Params are perferct and ready for the transfer, but my PO4 is still at 1.0 according to my Red Sea PO4 test kit.
My source water comes out at 1.0, and even my RO water reads at 1.0, or maybe slightly lower.
On my existing tank i have used, every product known to man and have never seen below 1.0. I have a fair amount of algae so I believe the reading to be accurate. By fair i mean i can see green rock and some fuzzy stuff here and there.
On the new tank, I have added the Via Aqua Media reactor and filled it with the Kent Phosphate Sponge and added a bag of the seachem phosgaurd into the Aquaclear 110 media chamber. After 24 hours, I am still at 1.0.
Can someone please give me some ideas on how to get PO4 down to the 0 level? I will probably migrate the tanks this weekend anyway, but my quest for 0 PO4 continues.
