    so i have been running phoslock and chemipure in my system for six months. Is it exhausted by now? I just did tests and my Phosphate level is 0. I use Ro water for top offs and waterchanges. Should i remove the bag of Phoslock and chemipure and just test regularly for phosphate? Seems unnecessary to keep them in the system if its not doing anything?
    thanks

    I'd run at least a little gfo just to keep phosphates in check. IMO it's easier to keep it down than get it back down. Just a thought.:)
