Hi all! I recently started a small 2FT AIO frag tank. (Like to look over little frags compared to full on scapes )
Currently, I'm facing nutrient issues with the tank. My no3 is hovering 40 ~ 42ppm Hanna NO3 LR. (tested on salifert to cross check, looks like 25ppm). And my phosphates is at 0 according to Hanna *PPB*.
Tried dosing seachem flourish yesterday at 0.5mls to try to get my po4 to 0.01. Tried measuring today but it's still at 0.
My tank doesn't have any rock scape nor sand. Running skimmer 24/7. Sockless. Just lots of media (big chamber customed). Oh yes, I've tried carbon dosing for a week with vinegar but to no avail. I have very little algae in the tank aswell. Just small patches of brown diatom.
My hammers and test sps frag (yellow spondage) are looking good but my torches are suffering. Pretty lost ATM.
Thanks guys!
EDIT: I've noticed most of corals did pale out a little compared to when po4 was at 0.4. I am not running GFO & AC. Po4 swung downwards rapidly within a week as far as I know.
