Probably first step then is to get the LFS to test for PO4 and NO3

Hi David,

If you want to get rid of the phosphate go to Red Coral and buy some Foz Down. Add it to your tank as per directions. It immediately gets rid of Phosphate. I make and use it so I know it works and is safe.

Unless you are trying to culture your anemone I would only feed it every 3rd day.

Cheers,
Tim

I wouldn't get rid of any phosphate until you know you have phosphate. Until then it's just throwing more muck in the soup. Test, determine the problem, then treat accordingly.
