I do not have the ultra low hi736 model i have the low range hi713 model.
i would be interested in trying the hi736 model.

I fully believe there is nearly 0ppm. I have none of the normal high p04 related issues. I don't mind 0 p04 so much, its the nitrate thats usually 100X as high as the p04 in your tank.. the 1 ppm vs the .02 ppm as common targets. sometimes as much as 5 ppm or higher and .02 ppm for some folks.

Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!
