No fish yet, but I did buy a new phosphate test kit. Sure enough, the old one, which was reading a solid 5.0 (or above, that's as high as that kit went) had to be bad. The phosphate level with the new one (Salifert) was 0.25, way to low. Nitrates were at 20, so that's good (I think). I think I read somewhere that the phosphate level should be around 2 to 3, can anyone verify that?
