    Hi All

    I am still battling phosphates in my tank, and it now looks awful.

    level is currently 0.75

    Rest of my levels are

    Ph 8.2
    Kh 10.0
    Nitrite 0
    Nitrate 2
    Ammonia 0
    Salinity 1.023

    I have rowaphos 250ml all in the cannister filter and have done for the last 4 weeks

    I have been doing weekly water changes and nothing changed, so I checked the RO water I had bought and it showed as having 1.0 phos in it. Is this right? or should I be getting my water from another fish store.

    Get your water somewhere else, that RO filter either isn't an RO filter or isn't being maintained properly.
