Hi I’ve noticed over the last week my corals don’t look too happy I was thinking maybe it’s because I’ve taken all my fish out and put them in qt a while ago I have no experience with keeping coral I test for mag alk calcium and nitrates I got a salifert phosphate test kit today my levels are
Salinity 1025
Mag 1350
Alk 8.9
Cal 430
Nitrates for some reason have shot up to 25-50 it’s hard to tell the exact colour
Phos looks to me to be clear to 0.03 I’m thinking it’s really clear but it does have a tint of blue if you do look for it I’m stuck I don’t know what to do after reading on forums I can either add phos do water changes use pellets or dose liquids to remove the nitrates I’m worried that if I choose water changes it’ll remove more phosphate I have cheato it’s still green but not growing looks healthy to be honest I run the light in reverse to my main display light I also use ozone I have crystal clear water and no algae I clean my glass maybe every 3 weeks and that’s only because I choose to do it incase I get any vermatid snails on it I hate scratches it’s been running since November could anyone help me out please
