Where are my phosphates going??? For months I have been experiencing an issue with pale SPS and some burnt acro tips. I have tracked this down to seemingly non-existent phosphates. Consistently read 0 on both high and low ranger Hanna checkers, and Salifert.
Remaining parameters are:
Nitrate - 5
SG - 1.026
Calc - 430
Alk - 8
Tank is almost one year old, Red Sea 425 (112 gallons system volume). ROX carbon, protein skimmer, filter socks. About 90 pounds of reef saver rock. Spots of coralline all over the place. No GHA. A few small spots of bryopsis.
I feed a sheet of nori and a bit more than a cube of frozen (variety pack of cubes) every day.
I have been dosing 20 ml of Neophos every day for several weeks now, testing every day, and continue to see 0. Coral health seems to indicate a real deficiency of phosphate.
Any ideas of what is going on?
Fish list is as follows:
midnight lightning clown
black storm clown
pink spotted goby
bullet goby
royal gramma
blue chromis
red firefish
helfrichi firefish
lawnmower blenny
tomini tang
