How long have you had them?
About 2 months where growing for a while making small new heads but the problem looks like it’s pressing fast only thing I’m having a problem with is phosphate keeps rising going from around .5 after a water change then a week later up to 1.0 almost (in ppm) alk 8.3 stable salinity 1.025 stable I can find the calcium and mag when I get home ph is 8.3 stable tempature set at 79 but Vivosun Heater might not be stable enough what do y’all think ? Any other questions Every comment is highly appreciated !How long have you had them?

No protein skimmer Aqua clear 70 on a 30 gallon just added sumpless ato that also surface skims and realized me phosphates where too high so threw a bag of chem I pure elite in there and haven’t tested the phosphate yet but I’m sure it’s gone down and I know that isn’t really the right way to bring it down but it was one of my only options maybe I did over feed the tank I like to spot feed the corals 2 times a week with reef roids plankton mysis and roe eggs1ppm phosphates is high. What water are you using for water changes? How much are you feeding? Any skimmer?

My tank is only 30 gallons how do y out suppose the best way I should export those nutrients I’ve been thinking of carbon dosing and I’m trying micro bactor 7 right now for the last week my phosphates are high and nitrates stay almost at 0 1-2 ppm every test I ordered phos correx by continuum but not sure that I want to dose stuff like that for the rest of the tanks life what’s a good steady way to export them that I’m not already doing ?However you maintain your system, just make sure you are dealing with NO3/PO4 levels. Whatever level you see works for your system, stick with that. If you PO4 is that high, I'd imagine your NO3 is high as well.
Skimmerless with feeding and say in frequent water changes you will battle nutrients.

I have a 29 gallon and the only filtration I use is the filter floss that I change every other day and a Phosphate sponge that I change once a month. My phosphates stay around 0.1 ppm. I had a skimmer but it was too loud for the Living room. I do an 8 gallon water change weekly or more if needed.My tank is only 30 gallons how do y out suppose the best way I should export those nutrients I’ve been thinking of carbon dosing and I’m trying micro bactor 7 right now for the last week my phosphates are high and nitrates stay almost at 0 1-2 ppm every test I ordered phos correx by continuum but not sure that I want to dose stuff like that for the rest of the tanks life what’s a good steady way to export them that I’m not already doing ?
