IMHO you need to do a couple of large water changes. You have gotten your phosphate level about 6x to high. Depending on your other tank parameters this could lead to a massive algae outbreak. It's one reason I dose phosphates as a solution and not dry. And why on everything I dose dry I have the amounts listed on the jar for each tank.


I'm following advice given to me by Tom Barr and dry dosing my 77g tank. I
just did a 50% water change and while adding nutrients I mistakenly added
3/4 tsp of potassium phosphate instead of the recommended 1/8 ths. Is this
going to cause me major problems?. Will it harm my fish?. Should I do
another water change?

Thx. Rick
