Phosphate problem

[jjw2121]

I have a phosphate reading of .35 using a hanna meter. I have a reactor which I have used Phosban, Phosgaurd and now using BRS GFO. My levels are not changing. I have also done a weekly 10-15% water change. My system is a 120 reef with mostly softies but 6 SPS and 2 LPS. All other parameters are great.
Thanks for your help.

Tell me exactly how you test your water. Where do you take the sample from? Also, what RO/DI do you use? What is your TDS? When did you last change the batter on your TDS meter?

you have some options, first feed less, see if that helps, second, use rowaphos and third are you using r/o water.....oh and maybe try to calibrate your meter again

How many fish do you have? what kind? what do you feed and how often? RO/DI water?

I use RO/DI at 4 reading. I just got a duel inline meter last week. All membranes of RO/DI were changed 3 months ago. I only feed about every 3 days(mostly mysis). I have 1 skunk clown, 1 occularis clown, 1 royal gramma, 1 hippo tang, i pajama cardinal, i diamond watchman goby, 1 six line wrasse, 1 two spot hogfish.

I usually take the water from about 6 inches from the surface.

I have mostly brown glass algea that collects everyday. I am running 2 250 W halides which are on for 8 hrs/day
