Hey everyone.
My phosphates are crazy high and looking for some advice on long term fixes/advice.
I have a 25g IM Lagoon, running an Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer and Chemipure as filtration. I use only RODI and do 5g WC’s every week.
My bio-load is very small with only a pair of clowns and diamond goby. I feed PE mysis, Reef-roids and Reef Energy AB+ every other day.
I thought my Hanna tester was broken because it was reading 0.58, I verified phosphate level was high with a API kit.
I only have LPS/softies and haven’t had any loses other than 1 torch with a barnacle growing in his mouth.
I’ve tried a Refugium, but the Cheato only dies off after 2-3 months.
Now looking at adding a GFO reactor. Anybody running a reactor in the IM chambers or using a HOB?
I’ve been in the hobby for 13yrs and this is my smallest tank I’ve owned and the first time I’ve encountered this issue.
Thanks.
