Great vid about phosphate/phosphorus

Definitely geared towards Tropic Marin products, but the general information here is really good. I especially like their approach to PO4 levels and the differences between our tanks and the ocean.

I have prb 700lbs of rock and those biobricks but considering my fish load, NO3 can be elevated. It used to be 150ppm last year w/o the sulfur denitrator. Anyway, I just did my 4th 50gal WC to reduce metals in the water column. A WC will also put a little dent in NO3 reduction.
