Need your help, have a year old tank and my corals are slowly dying or just existing. 6 months ago I had good coral growth then monti’s started dying and the rest of corals growth mostly stopped to the point of just existing. I have tested water with typical parameters below. i have focused on the removing phosphate and raising nitrate for the last 3-4 months and the tank just seems to be getting worse. Looking for suggestions as Im thinking of setting up dosing nitrate, Carbon, alkalinity and calcium to see if that can get my water squared up. Parameters below. I have no algae (Zero) in tank and all 10 fish are doing great.
phosphate .30 (has been as high as 1.6)
nitrate 5ppm
dkh 7.0
Ca 415
salinity 1.026
temp 76
100 gallon tank with sump and curve 7 skimmer, no refugium
lights are Hydra 32’s
i Have used every phosphate remover known and the best number I have gotten is .25.
