Hello everyone !
So I'm pretty new to the hobby, I set up my first ever saltwater aquarium in the april of 2022 since then I've always had high nutrient readings like No3: +70, PO4: 0,5
But recently I've started to have immeasurable PO4 so I'm asking for little help to get back on track (by that I mean normal nutrients)
Total system volume: 60 gallons
Current stocking:
1 Purple fire goby
1 Damselfish
1 Picturesque dragonet
1 Scopas tang
1 Ocellaris clownfish
1 Lyre tail anthias
Corals: a ricordea, a discosoma some kenya tree corals
-CUC: 1 hermit crab, 1 trochus snail
Current equipment:
Filter sock (washed every 2nd day, if needed every day)
Bubble Magus C5 skimmer
Maxspect Ethereal
Atman return pump
Ceramic filter media
Feeding schedule: 1 times a day half a cube of mysis (the mysis is filtered)
I'm currently dosing: Grotech reef clear for PO4 (3ml/day) started dosing since november, Vinegar for NO3 (4ml/day) started dosing since september still the same readings mentioned above
I didn't really do any waterchanges
The current rock amount: about 10 kg
I'm also having a smaller cyano outbreak
So my questions are the following: Why aren't the nutrients decreasing, and what should I do?
