Good job! Thank you! We've been really making an effort to go deeper into complex topics than we used to and the response so far has been great! We'll be taking a deep dive into Nitrate next. As always we really appreciate you watching and commenting! Jeff @ Marine Depot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farriis Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I own a reef tank. But phosphates from fish waste, coral slime, uneaten food, and dead algae cells harm fish and inhibit coral growth. So I figured out how to lower phosphate in a reef tank by changing the water source and looking for something low in phosphate. In addition, I have an additional RODI system installed in my house; this can be a great way to remove phosphates in a reef tank.

Muttley000 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Welcome to the forum @Farriis, you are correct in that making sure source water is pure can be a big help. Nutrient export is also a big piece of the puzzle, how are you currently doing that? We would all enjoy learning a bit more about your system, and really like pictures!
