Dosed in day one aggressively and it dropped to 0.07
Dosed day two and it dropped to 0.00
Before dosing at all I took a basketball sized chaeto tangle out of the sump and left about two softball sizes worth remaining.
Here we are a week later and the two softballs of chaeto are shrivelled up and gone. Tank looks great.
Is it possible that I literally stripped the tank of the phosphate enough to kill off the chaeto?

yes, do you have corals in the tank?
