Water Parameters, need help!

IMO, Fleets is the easiest and cheapest way to dose Phosphates.
As mentioned before, I don't know your plant mass, so I would start with 4 drops, give it an hour or so, and test adding increments of 2 drops to reach the desired content.

That first trip to the register with an Enema in hand is always dicey.......just tell the lady that it's for dosing a planted tank.......she won't believe you, but what the heck,
at least you tried:).

Just a quick update for all of you who provided help. I got some diatom powder for my Magnum 350 and ran it for about two hours. Afterward my water was crystal clear. I couldn't believe how quickly that worked. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a believer. Anyway, with my new crystal clear water, I did a water change added all my ferts to get up to proper levels. Bought epsom salt for the magnesium and reef complete calcium carbonate. I got my gh up to about 6-7 and my kh is down to 14 with a ph around 7.2. I started dosing phosphate and my water has stayed clear for a complete week. My plants are all growing like crazy, and I couldn't be happier. Just wanted to thank all of you for the help!
