Still have PO4

[ThatGuy]

I'm still showing PO4(1.0). I added PhosBan bag to a high flow area of my sump. It dropped it drasticly but I think its still leeching from the rocks from back when it was crazy high. That or its the food but I don't feed heavy. Is there anything else I can do? Still doing the weekly water changes with RODI water as well.

Run a reactor with the media in it. Using mesh bags just is not as efficient as using reactors for GFO, carbon, etc.

Thumbs up.

+2, and just plan on this process taking a long time (months) before all the PO4 leaches out of your rock. And change the GFO frequently.

Got me a reactor.

I'm using SeaGel by Seachem and BulkReef Carbon. The SeaGel seems to have good reviews. Anyone on here use it?

It took me all most 6 months to get my PO4 under control. It will not happen over night.
