You got to change the filters and do you have DI running with your RO. Zero should be your number. You are adding Phoshates to your new salt water mix. No more water changes and let reactor do its job. What's your live stock. How much food and how many times you feed. You don't need to break nothing down. Do you have algae growing in tank? GFO you must change once a month.
