That's great. You may be in the margin of error on the Hanna which is why it's not changing also.
I really love the phosguard over gfo.

That's great news, Chuck! I like it too. So when you used GFO, your corals closed up for awhile? I'm glad we're using the Phosgard.Originally Posted by binford4000
Well Tom it's been a few weeks. I am still getting Po4 readings of .04. One thing I have noticed is the polyp extra extension that I would notice when changing GFO has lasted thru the complete trial period. This is a much better result then high cap GFO. I have always noticed extension would return to normal after three or four days with GFO. So far I am happy with the results and plan to make phos guard my Po4 media from now on. Thanks to everyone who spoke up about this stuff !
I doubled mine in both tanks, recently and have started to see more results in the 135. Some of the sps that 'died' are coming back with tissue and polyps. I also started gutting it and took off the top layer of LR that had lots of dead sps and aips. A lot more swimming room now and room for fast growing softies. I hope they have a lot to choose from at the swap.
I isolated my sump removed my dsb (135g). Scrubbed all the LR, drained it completely, filled it with the LR and new SW only (no sand) and put it back online. So it might be a combination of things, but I'm liking the cleaner look in the dt. Still a little hair algae hanging around, though. Put another 250ml of biopellets in too. The skimmer is going nuts.
240g not much change. Put another 500ml biopellets in and added the BM250 to the other two etss. Can't believe that's pulling stuff too. I must feed too much, eh?

Yeah I have been thinking the same thing.I was going to pick up a sali fret and see if it is a calibration issue. no3 are very low. It's nice not to have to clean your glass ! Lol
Sounds like it's going good ! I have gone away from the DSB also and don't miss it either !! Glad to hear your sticks are recovering. You got any of that brite blue acro I gave ? Would be intrested in buying a chunk if you do. Have fun at the swap . My corals didn't close up. I always noticed when I changed my GFO the next day things would open more is all then they would return to normal after a few days is all.

Well its been a couple weeks since I started weaning my tanks on to it. For my 90 i believe I started with 25%, no real change in any thing but thats likely due to the low amounts added. Put a little in the hob filters of my macro cube in an attempt to get that system back on track, and it is improving but it's hard to tell if that is due to the phosguard or the large amount of display macros in thetank. I also put about 75% full dose in my 40 gal frag tank which was starting a bit of hair algae due to some dirty dead rock and it seems to have really helped, although there are many display macros being held in that drag tank as well.
Due to the high amount of macros i keep my results may not be the most reliable but I do believe it is contributing to the tanks that received a higher dose, as for the reef tank, i won't be able to say much until I add more phosguard
No prob ! Been there done that ! Lol
