I measured my phosphates with the Hanna phosphate meter and they measured .03. Where are your levels at?

I try to keep my phosphate around 0.01-0.02 when it get to 0.03 I think the algae begins to grow and slows coral growth. I also think coral growth stops with less than 0.01 and the coral really looks pale. This low level was achieved with zeovit. Now I just use vodka.
