Having issues with phosphate levels in my saltwater tank. Phosphate is showing at 2.5 and wanting to reduce. This is in a 25 gallon tank. I know I should do a water change to start, but how much would you recommend?
Also noticing my PH/ALK is low (or at least I believe). Been dosing about 1 ml of alk daily to try to bring up my PH. Tank has been live about 3 months now. I have 2 clowns, a shrimp and a couple coral (hammer and gsp). Everything seems to be doing fine, but wanting to prevent anything happening. Did a 20 % water change last Saturday.
Water Test from LFS today:
Salinity - 1.025
Alk - 7
PH - 7.5
Phos - 2.5
Cal - 383
Mag - 1303
Ammo - 0
Nitrite - 0.1
Nitrate - 56
Any information is appreciate. Happy Holidays everyone!
