Po4 problem?

[Carp890]

Just posted this thread, it's gone?? Anyway try again I'm new to this. 200ltr tank heavily planted, no alge problems fish are fine. Experts say po4 should be 0/1mg/l. I've tried 3 or 4 buffs ro water, can't get it down.
My tap water is 2/0mg/l my aquarium shop keeps selling me all this stuff??? What can I do, not buy it, I would like to get it down if possible. Any help please

If your plants are thriving and you do not have algae issues then high PO4 isn't a problem. Better to have too high than too low. NO3 should be higher than your PO4

Indeed : Watch your tank, plants and fish and don't interfere when things are okay.
And don't.listen to someone who's job is to sell as much stuff as possible.
