What a Difference No PHOSPHATES makes

[Kalied20]

I was having some problems with a couple of corals not opening up for a couple of days. I got a little advice from Mike about phospates so I got a test kit and......dang if they weren't about .3 or higher. I got the Seachan Phosphate removal pellets. I put them in a small media bag and drop it in the sump/refuge. Over night it dropped to .1!

My Corals are breathing a sigh of relief. Everything came out hugh today.

THANKS MIKE....

do you know if its ok to use the phosphate pellets with carbon? it would seem ok but im just being sure since i never used the phosphate pellets before.

Seachem makes something called SeaGel that is a mix of phosguard and carbon... so I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to.
