Granular Ferric Oxide aka phosban, rowaphos, or the bulk supply reef stuff.

Is your PO4 .1 or 1? In your post, it's written as 1 while jackson said your reading is .1.

If it's 1(plus you said the nitrate was 80 before), I am sure your tank has cycled again.

What's the old value of your old tank using the same test kit?

I would check your Ro Long Ilands water is very bad not as clean as queen. If you been using LI water with your RO your filters and if you have a DI are probably no good . If you have a tds meter see what your readings are.

Ok checked my r/o water last night and phos is a sold 0 so are the nitrates ,I also did a 30 gallon water change and changed my phosbane out so I have 150 ml of new phosban in my reactor I'm gonna check it out tonight again

Charlie becareful not to "clean" the water to quickly, even though it's for the better long term, it can cause problems too....and with the new phosban watch your alk and PH...I run 150 gm on my tank too, but when I first bumped it to that amount the alk and PH jumped and bleached out all my montis.
