Hi. I am planning a 240 litre, 63 gallon planted tank.
My water has 2 ppm phosphate which is high, so I am thinking of using a phosphate remover like seachem phosguard.
I know aquarium plants need phosphate so I was just wondering how to get it to them when seachem phosguard is extracting phosphate from the aquarium?
I have heard that by fertilising the plants in the aquarium regularly, the growth of the plants will encourage them to take up the phosphate from the tank. Is this enough to keep levels lower?
Any advice you have would be gladly welcomed.
