I personally just feed more and would up or add some carbon dosing.


Or your readings are just undetectable and with in error range but still there. The 713 isn't as good as the ULR phosphorus checker in the lowest range.


Edit: I also wouldn't worry so much about 10mg/L of nitrate. IMO

Yes, I already ordered my phosphorus hanna checker, I am.sure I have some P since I get algae in my glass and need to clean every 4 or 5 days. But before I had 0.09 P and it seems that my P has been decreasing and my N seems to stay in the same 10ppm range. How can this be if only have ATS as nutrient filter??
I do not dose N nor P

Any ideas of what can be happening??

Thanks again
