Hi guys.

I have Phosphates screaming over 10ppm. Its heavily planted and I gravel vac twice a month. I also remove dead leaves ect with weekly 50% H2O changes plus mid week top ups. Tap H2O is 5ppm. My Ferts give me a solution to reach a level of 1ppm, which I dose alternate days It must be coming from my food. I feed flake, colour bits and bloodworms alternately and I'm careful not to overfeed (once daily). The food is usually eaten up within 20-30 seconds, plus with 3BNs 8 Ottos and 5 cories in the 90g I'm sure all the food from the bottom is devoured. Is there a particular brand of food I can use that will help reduce the phosphates. Also should I stop dosing KH2PO4 as I am getting high phosphates from tap water and I would still be getting K from my KNO3? I dont have an algae problem in the tank, but I'm affraid with Phosphates that high I could be prone to a bloom. I would seriously appreciate your advice guys/gals. All responces would be very welcomed

I know this post may be in the wrong spot, but I don't have a CC to buy into the full monty for full access to the site, or else I would

cheers.
