Absolutely. Phosphates are that high because they were introduced. I don't know how big your tank is, but removing that much phosphate with absorbing medias can be an expensive proposition. Generally, phosphates come from one of three places... water, salt, or food. Do you mix your own...

Hello, I had a mega phosphate problem, 3ppm, i am currently trying to decrease the phosphates urgently because of the corals i have in my tank which are not doing that good. What media do you suggest to use to remove the phosphates? I have already tried 2 littles fishies phosban, which did not...
