Whoops, did I forget it? Its around 1350-1400. I also dose this.

I have bought some Red Sea N03-P04-x as I have heard some good things about this. Any thoughts on the product? I have not started it yet.


My SG is now at 1.026.

I've used N03:PO4x and it didn't do much to lower my phosphate levels. It did irritate my LPS to a degree but fish and SPS didn't seem to mind.

well not that great. I have started slowly dosing N03-P04-X but my Phos has gone up to 0.36. Soooo I dont know. It's only been 3 days or so.


I may stop dosing it if it nothing changes.
