I was buying natural saltwater when I started reefing and we got to .45ppm phosphates. I started mixing my own saltwater with Red Sea blue bucket and my reef looks so much better.

Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever tested the water I get from my LFS. I think the soonest I’ve ever tested it, is maybe a week after doing the water change. and the reason I think I was getting a reading of 0 phosphates was because I was feeding my fish every other day, sometimes every two days and I would do a 20% water change once a month.
