Hello the phosphate in my community his very hi since the beginning I know its dosent do direct repercussion on fish'dosent s but I think it should be better to bring it down so if someone have and idea how!!

I tried the chemical phosphate remover...! works
Planted many plant... no direct influence Someone told me that It should resolve the problem with the time.
... Maybe Im too much feeding but the eat everything!

Howdy,

What's your tap water phosphate?

Also, do you use any water conditioners that may contain phosphates? e.g. Tetra's blackwater extract (ToruMin) contains a TON of phosphates.

No, tap water 0 phosphate and the only thing I use is ceramiq Biomax and Carbon( I heard a time that it can be carbon but i remove it for a month and no result.) And i dont think it in the Chlorine remover...?

Just a media tube to keep your phosphate removal media. The phosphate could have come form a number of sources. There could have been a short term spike in your tap water, commercial foods, aquarium additives etc. As long as it keeps going down I wouldn't be too worried.
