Po4 levels

[sdfish]

i was wanting to put a anemone and pair of clowns in my tank but i was wondering if i had to much nitrate and if my lighting and flow would be enough..

Po4- 10ppm
750 watts MH lighting
220 watts Vho actinic lighting
flow 1200 gph closed loop
2000 gph return

Any one?

po4 levels for a reef tank is less then .05 ppm if i remember correctly.

Do you mean NO3 (nitrate) or Phosphate (PO4)? Regardless you want undetectable or as close too zero as possible.

I was wondering that too, not sure if PO4 could be that high in a normal tank, would think it would be a field of algae.

oops sorry no3 is what i was wondering about. i was testing for po4 at the time of the post lol... my nitrate is at 0.10 would a anemone tollerate this?
