Phosphate limited??

[dcw1sfu]

Tested Phosphates and nitrates for the fist time in a while. Tank looks great since starting full aquaforest about a month and a half ago.

Today's readings are phosphates 0 (hanna ULR tested a couple times) and Nitrates 5 with Red Sea Pro.

I'm assuming because i have 0 phosphates this isnt allowing the nitrates to lower. My plan is to remove AF phosphate remover and see if that fixes the problem.

Any thoughts??

Sounds logical. You can add your frozen feed too.

Its a 60 gallon tank with 9 fish and I feed pellets twice a day and frozen once a day. So feeding heavily in a well stocked tank.

Using the following aquaforest products:

Probiotic Salt (weekly 15-20% water change)
Pro Bio S
NP Pro
Coral A / B / E / V
Coral Food
Phosphate Minus (just took offline today)
Carbon
Component Strong

I will see if taking the phosphate minus offline evens out the phosphate/nitrate ratio.
