Hanna Phosphate

Should the water coming out of my GFO reactor read 0 (+/-.04)?
If it is not does that mean I should change GFO or add more?

What is the tank water phosphate level?

 

[ari5736]

Just tested and tank water and GFO reactor water are both at .18. The levels have been coming down steadily since I changed out the reactor media last about 1 week ago. I am using Warner Marine Research PHOSaR HC (High Capacity) .

.18 is extremely high. If you're getting .04 out of your reactor then it's doing its job.
If it is coming out of the rector at .18 then it is probably exhausted. I would use a small amount changed weekly until your phosphate comes down.

Okay 3 days later same media and I am getting results at around .12. Should I still change out the media, because apparently it is still working?
