If as you say everything else is fine ,then there is only two things I can think of, and they are obvious, either your test was faulty or your water from your water change was contaminated.( road works , flushing the pipes etc) the water coming through my main contained 100 ppm phosphate . do another water change, but test the new water before you put it in .


if that was the reading in my marine tanks I would be in hospital now, after having a heart attack lol.
