So my tank is a little new. Its just under 2 months currently which could be some of the issue but I just want to make sure. Im using the Hanna checker (HI713) to measure PO4 and it has been creeping up week by week. As of today it read .5 ppm which seems a bit high to me.
I feed frozen mysis nightly. Usually a cube last me about a week for the two clowns and other tank mates and I feed about a 1 inch square of dry seaweed to the kole tang daily who consumes it all very quickly.
Nutrient export is a protein skimmer (Bubble Magus Curve 5), 10 gallon weekly water change (5 gallons on Wednesday and 5 on Sunday) and I just started up the refugium. Should I keep this going or possibly switch something up? So far it doesn't seem to be affecting the few coral I have in the tank or the various creatures I have in there as well. Also no advisable algae anywhere on the tank so far and I would like to keep it that way.
60 gallon tank, trigger systems 20c sump
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 20 ppm
Phosphates .5 ppm
PH 8.2
Alk 9.5
Calcium 430
Mag 1400
