This was buried at the end of an older thread about high p04, so I started a new one here.

I took PLANTBRAIN's advice and called Carib-Sea about my EC and before I could even explain my situation, the guy stopped me and said "You got a bad batch. Limestone was mixed into the substrate." This confirms my ridiculously high po4 readings.

GOOD NEWS
Carib-Sea is replacing all of my EC. - Big thanks to PLANTBRAIN. Now I owe you and Bensaf (I do have some giant hairgrass that really doesn't go with my aquascape).

BAD NEWS
My tank is looking good and it's all planted, but I do see some hairalgae growing on the difformis, and I sense it's only going to get worse. I didn't feel like breaking down the entire tank again, although with the EC I might be able to replace 60 to 70% of the substrate without taking everything out.

Can I sue for mental anquish and TESA (The Evil Slime Attack). I might decide to subponea some FP members so I'll need your real names and addresses.

Question, if I used a phosX pad in my cansister I guess it would remove any phosphate I dose before the plants get it.

Bensaf, thanks for answering po4 question.

If only I would have seen this thread earlier about corrupted EC.
