Well i just found out my phosphate source...... I am gettin ready to do a WC and I decided hey LM check for the hell of it my WC water for PO4 and BOOM on my hanna test it was at .18 !!!!!!!!!! Now what do I do I have 400g of salt here this is INSANE !!!!!!!! I am using the IO/oceanic 50-50 mixture. I spent the last of my spennding cash for the week on the 2 new buckets yesterday now i have to find a way to get something else but what brand I used to use the seachem reef salt on my 180 but fopund out the Borate that they use on it gives a false Alkalinity reading so im staying away from that and TMP I hear horror stories about from the PO4 in it causing HA. I am in a lost of words here
