On a side note, I still believe that a lot of the variations you are seeing are a result of testing errors. Even using the Hanna ULR Phosphorous test, you are in the bottom 10% or so of the meter's range. My advice would be to take things slowly, and try to observe results over a period of weeks, not days, to get a better idea of your actual progress (or lack of). I would stay with the dosing schedule you are at now, which doesn't seem likely to precipitously drop phosphate levels, and see how things look in two or three weeks before deciding to change dosing rates.

Thanks Joe I figured that the doser would have a hard time dosing 1 drop every +30 seconds I have tried my darn'est to take it slow I'm just so afraid of having unreacted LC get into the tank I just need to be confident that everything will be fine...easier said then done for me. I promise Joe, I will try to keep the dose from being constantly changed once we decide what to go with!
