 Purigen/phosphates
Hi,
I just regenerated some purigen and used the discus buffer to complete the process. We have been having excess phosphate in our aquariums due to our city water and have switched sources. Yesterday we tested our water before a water change and the amount of phosphates was minute. We did our normal 30% weekly water change. Then we put the regenerated purigen in the filter and within 12 hours the phosphate test was reading very high amounts of phosphates in our tank. Is this because of the regeneration of the purigen - it added phosphates in the water? We really don't want all these phosphates - we are having algae issues!
(I am hoping that purigen just causes a false reading or something - we really like this product!) Thanks for your time,
