Phosphates in Tank

[tkong]

I’m helping a local with maintenance on a tank that has a dwarf octopus. I did some water testing and the phosphates, however, are around 0.90ppm.

I know with reefs you’re not supposed to lower phosphates too quickly for the corals. Fish, to my knowledge, are not as sensitive.

However, what about octopus? Does it need to be lowered slowly?

No I am pretty sure plosphates don’t bother them? Maybe someone else know different? Thanks Tom
