Couldn't find anything to up phosphates last night which was super annoying. The joys of living in a smaller town... I did find one place that had some phosphate supplement in the next town over so I'll be rushing over there on my lunch break today.
My plan is, to add some of the phosphate supplement to the ATO that way it will add some of it each time it runs. Then I set my auto feeder to 3 times a day. Between those two and if the people checking in on the cats can add some nori I think nutrients should stay above zero.
Tested water again last night, Nitrate is down to a clear 25ppm now. Still high, but coming down. Phos was at 0.028, up a bit from yesterday.
The effected corals are still unhappy. The elkhorn continues to lose colour and has more and more white/parts taken over by the cyano. Theres a couple small holdouts of green left on it so I am hoping it can make a comeback. The forest fire polyps are still thinning with more and more white at the ends. Not as bad as the elkhorn so I am hoping it can recover. The monti is pretty white. I can see a few polyps with the blues on, but I doubt it will make it. All other SPS seem unaffected so far.
