I don't even trust myself half the time let alone trusting a store worker to maintain the filters.

Any idea why I'm always fighting a high phosphate number . Not trying to hit a number really . Just not liking .2 all the time . Seems to be a bit high . Per Hannah checkers
Adjusted fuge light to 14hrs a day from 8hrs hoping that would help ...not much change . Harvesting chaeto every couple days . Like a baseball size chunk .
Only feeding a half cube of food a week in 2 drained servings .
5gal water change religiously every sun .
Starting to think it's just a matter of a small tank and fuge combo ? Any ideas
I’m no expert but .2 ppm doesn’t leave room for error. I aim for .01 - .03 ppm. However, if you’re at .2ppm and all is good, keep at it cause stability is key in this hobby.Don't try to chase the number. From what I know, 0.2 ppm of Phosphate is normal in a reef tank
