So in an effort to reduce the phosphate i have loaded my tank with by doing conditioned tap water water changes, i have switched to RO and added a phosphate pad on the top of my wet dry. Does anyone know if once these are loaded do they put the phosphate back in the water. I plan on removing the pad after 2 weeks but i will sooner if I knew it leach that phosphate back into the system once it has fully loaded? I know some media will lock phosphate and not release it and some will throw it back in the system once it is maxed out. Thanks in advance for your help.
