Default PO level

I've had my tank up and running now for one year and it's been smooth sailing so far. I have only had a few losses but those were pre ordained before I even received the pieces. I had in the past been checking phosphate levels with a api test kit. Not great I know. Levels never registered on the kit. Wife got me a Elos low level kit for Christmas and just did my first test. Results .03 not bad for no reactors just running two bags of chemi pure elite. but id like to get them lower . Anyway I love Elos products I now have all there test kits and highly recommend them to every one. Hope you all had a great Christmas.

It's my understanding that ~0.03ppm PO4 is optimal for sps tanks. Any particular reason you want it lower? I would expect corals to bleach out if you pull it down any lower. If you still want it lower though, GFO would be the only way I know. The more you use, the lower it will go, but if it's already that low, not likely you'll need much.
