Hi All, Losing the will to live with my Phosphate levels.
So I upgraded with new sand, same live rock and filter media from a 90l marine to 200l.
Clean up crew - 3 Conch, Tuxedo Urchin, 3 Peppermint Shrimp, 3 Trochus Snails, 6 Nassarius Snails.
Stocking is 2 clowns (in the previous tank), cleaner wrasses and firefish I hae had the tank running for 2-3 months. Added the two fish 1 month apart.
Mainly Soft corals
Parameters are
24 Degrees
Ph 8.2
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 0
Nitrite - 0
Phosphate - 1
Calcium 400
Alkalinity 11.2
How do I decrease these phosphates its causing Diatom issues or any advice. I have just added in a Cheato Refugium in the sump.
