Hey all!
RSR 350 G2 about 7-8 months old…stocked it pretty quickly, looks great. But not getting the growth I’d like and also have some zoas and shrooms starting to close up. My phosphate has been up in the .35-.45 range for a couple of months despite water changes. Small fish stock.
I just started a small refugium in my sump, appropriate for the 90 gal total volume. Dosing phytoplankton and lots of good pods going on. But I can’t help but think that if my PO3 was at proper levels I would have more growth. Nitrates are ok, around 20.
So my question is, do I give the macros more time to work and continue with my weekly water changes, or should I try vodka dosing or another way of lowering phosphates?
Happy thanksgiving reefing fam!
