phosphate

[d2hpeter]

saw a guy bought a bottle of phosphate from c328.
was wondering, one should hv quite abundant organic phosphate in the tank, which could be converted into inorganic phosphate for the plant continuously?

The ones we dose are in inorganic forms...no conversion needed. Fish food usually have more NO3 as compared to PO4 and are in organic forms. Plant enzymes is the key at play here regarding uptake. Stability of nutrients will not confuse the plants (sudden high/low amount of nutrients...they might just shut everything down. ).
