I just checked my alk and it's low. I'm been using phosban for 5 weeks and for what I read that is the cause. how do I raise it back to normal?

too much Phosban. I wouldn't stop that though. You can slow calcium addition and alkalinity to maintain a balance. 2 part solutions do you no good when PO4 is high. You are out of balance.
I went through the same thing when my PO4 was high. It's a balancing act. I slowed down my 2 part additions until My PO4 was low.

If I have time on sunday, I'll stop in. I'll bring Fred with me to stomp your ass royally if you do not heed sound advice. Every ? you've posted, I've given you a heads up on the fact that it was going to happen. My only option left with you is kicking ass. Be advised that if I show up and you have a fuge on your tank, I will kill you. Use Saturday as time to get that toilet off if you have one.

Damn, I forgot about you. I have spoken to Fred about 4 times today and he never mentioned you. JP... You've got quite an impression on people.
Who the hell thread is this and what are we talking about anyway?
Get the fuge (aka "toilet bowl") off line and we'll talk. That will reduce the bulk of your PO4.
Everything is fixable. Ass kicking is fun and me and Fred (Fred and I, for all the grammar police out there) will monkey stomp you anyway. If we remember.

okay froggie... I'm in. Stomp until he stamps. I don't know what these stamps look like, so I don't care if he says he stamped it or not, we'll stomp until you are happy.

Wait... I just noticed how funny this post is. You trusted an MR member with your taxes? I took electric advice from one of them and after I fell off the ladder and was in the process of my third flip down the stair case, I said to myself, "bad idea".
Froggie, I have magic beans I can sell you. They keep NO3 and PO4 low AND they do your taxes. No maintenance involved.
