With that, do you think it would be wise to continue adding phosphate (NeoPhos) to the water column despite having some stubborn spots of algae? Or, not add phosphate and continue adding bacteria to combat algae for surface area in this porous rock? Or both? Coralline is finally taking a good foothold on the rock.That is certainly a reasonable hypothesis.
My theory - add po4 in raw chemical form to add to the water water column, instead of dumping more food that gets trapped and decomposes in the pukani.
As of last night no3 10-12 Red Sea PO4 0.01hanna phosphate ulr - fifth day in a row dosing neophos. Started dosing PO4 five days ago at 0.01 then dropped to 0 now 0.01. Hanna resolution of +\- 0.01. My phosphate in this tank since start up (January 2020) has never been above 0.02 despite having or not having any algae.
10 years ago when I set up my first reef tank, I would have never thought about these ULN issues that plague me now with dry only lol. Lesson learned
I do have a Triton ICP
