Those are the two things that I ever test and they are out of the charts and I cant do any thing about it. Anyway po4 is 0.5 and nitrate is 50. I think I tested the nitrate right, and I'm using salifert. So, unless I'm colour blind thats the real readings. Been like this for few months and everything doing great.
I tried to drop my nitrates and phosphates but impossible, last time nitrates were 75-80, now 50. Last time phosphates were 1, now 0.5. I will move it to lower side flow. Should I still give it high light or low light? Will amino acid help? If yes, jow often should I give it? I dont really have test kits of my own, so I will do it at my lfs.
I am not capable of doing water changes. After moving it to low flow, looks worse. What are the ingredients for antibiotic dip?
You can look them up. I think kung fu coral has a recipe.
Dont have the space or enough salt to replace the water
Can you get some salt to make more water? How have you been lowering nitrates all this time?
Kfc does have a dip that people have been successful with, but the dip itself is really just a concoction of multiple different treatments mixed in one, you can make it yourself as long as you’re precise. If possible you should try to get your hands on it as bluemon suggested
Macroalgae.
You can use products like chemipure for phosphates, (this will drop them incredibly fast, so do so slowly) seeing previous comments you should leave it on the lower side of both and stop moving it, you will just make the situation worse
Just macroalgae can only do so much, do you have a skimmer? You really need to dial down your nitrates if you want to keep stony corals. 80 is way too high. Even at the highest, I would say 20-40, and that’s only if your alkalinity is high enough.
No.
