It's at 2500 from 300 and may be contributing to other problems so I'm using a phosphate remover. I am new here and didn't see the recommendations and I'm using Bio-Dex max which seems similar in doses to the ones recommended here.
I started by adding 16 oz to start. It left a really cool cloudy trail as it disbursed. I ran the filter overnight and the next day it was pretty clear. I assume the cloudy trail is the chemical interaction with the phosphates as they precipitate.
Then I added 8 more oz. Then 8 more (so far I've used a quart). Every time I got the cloudy trail.
8 more oz. Trail.
Today 8 more oz. No trail. I could see the reflected light due to the different density but no cloud.
Does that mean I've knocked down the phosphates to a negligible level and can stop?
I'll confirm with a water test later this week and begin a clear water slam. By the time that's all done I hope I'll have my new salt cell.
