So, I have been trying to lower my phosphates over the last 2 weeks.. was .15, down to .06 or so I think... Ever since trying to get the PO4 down, I have experienced more Cyano, and now, some STN on a few acros. I checked some one elses water with the same hannah checker that I use, and his was high, .3.... Why is that important you ask. Because it made me think my checker was off, and when I used the manual Salifert test, my water came back at 0.... So here are my questions and thoughts..
Thought:
The PO4 being 0 is causing the cyano and the STN, because I am starving the corals of food, even thou my nitrates are at 10.
Question:
Am I correct? And if so my plan is to start feeding more over the next few days to see if I can start to see any differences in anything and or see if the STN slows down.
