My corals are growing/encrusting. The new growth has beautiful deep bright colors. As my phosphates are falling the growth rate is increasing. I tried to get some pix but they are washed out (actually all blue). I'll have to read up on settings for my camera to get better shots. I should get my new BRS reactors tomorrow (stupid holiday...) so ill see if I can get those phosphates even lower.
 
Let us know.....seems like you pegged it. PO4 that high and a high mag level would do it. I'm dealing with it myself.....
 
Runiing the larger reactors for GFO and 0.8 carbon. PO4 0.08 on Wed, 0.06 Thurs, 0.10 today. Gonna check again tomorrow, then check effluent and change GFO if needed. I think it's leaching from the rock. Mag is 1600 today. Another water change tomorrow. Still no PE but I feel like it's going in the right direction.
Other parameters:

Alk 8.1
Ca 460
Nitrates 0
Strontium 8
Iron low - dosed
Iodine Good
Potassium Low - dosed

Thanks again for all the help. I appreciate any other suggestions and I'll let you know if anything changes.
 
I have PE!!!!!!! It's just a start but my red planet just started extending it's polyps a little bit. All the rest are encrusting more. Thanks for all your help.
