Bro u try WC? and change new rowaphos? Else might be some decaying LS somewhere in the tank...

Bro my po4 had stayed that high for almost 3 weeks already. Changed rowaphos and has been doing WC every 5 days. Nothing seems to bring it down. Was wondering if it's live rock leaching out the phosphates. NO2 is at good level thou.

Bro, how old is your rocks in your tank liao? I dont think they can leach that long loh. I suspect it is more of decaying somethings, maybe macro algaes or LS or coral.

the other possible source is food, uneaten food particularly...

Bro, did you try test your PO4 before WC, then test again one hour after your WC? this is to determine the effect of WC.

0.03 ppm is not considered very high (let alone say critical) even for sps tank. Its considered to be in the range of acceptable po4 for a sps tank. Its normal for a sps tank to have po4 of 0.01-0.03ppm.
