SeaChem is good and well priced. Hach makes a good one and Lamott makes a
good one also. Hach is the best but is pricey.
Get your plants to grow well and you will not need no PO4 absorption pillows
etc. My tap had loads of PO4. I have to add it these days. I watched my PO4
drop by .2ppm a day in a good running plant tank. NPK is what plants like to
grow well but it needs to be in balanced proportions, not absent.
