Ever seen Phosphates this high? Woah!

Lowering phosphates will also require a lower alkalinity level. When I keep Phosphates at .15, I need to run alk at 7.5 otherwise I get burnt tips on my SPS.

Coming back to report on this for anyone interested. Obviously a traumatic experience but made it through. Ended up losing the 3 headed green torch and 3 headed purple torch, along with 2 hammers and 2 acans.

Frogspawn looked grim but ended up recovering, gorgonians unfazed as usual, birdsnest and duncan also relatively unfazed. Thankfully never lost a fish and they’re all still with us today and doing well.

5 months later I now add rowaphos to my tank every 3 weeks, and I have added a couple hammers, a torch, another birdsnest and some monti’s.

The tank will be 2 years old in May.
