Hi, I have taken readings of my tap water so I can choose the most suitable fish and plants for my 28 gallon set up and all seems fine excpet my phosphate levels which are 4ppm.

I am worried this is way too high (compared to the advice of the hagen test kit) for my set up.
I wont be using C02 as I will have 1.5wpg and a heavily planted tank (doing the middle route).

When I read the EI article even tanks with C02 needed less than 4 so I am a bit concerned. Shall I try to reduce it somehow or will all be ok?
