Curing frag plugs - phosphates .45ppm

[Macropora]

I was curious and decided to test the phosphate levels in the RO water used to cure my frag plugs with a Hanna low range phosphate meter :scratchch. It turns out that the phosphates are .45 ppm :shocked1:, about 10 times the recommended level:banghead:. Kind of shocked, did know it could be so high. I'll need to change the water more often to bring down the levels before mounting frags using these plugs in my system.

I am using the biright well phosphate e and also I upped the usage of my phosband from 50 grams to 65 grams of phosband. I am also hooking up a phosband reactor to my top off water to kill phosphates. The birhgt well works I had .05 to now 0.00

The phosphates are coming from the RO water or the frag plugs?
