I have noticed an elevated level of phosphates over the last 30 to 45 days and now it is sitting around 2.50 ppm. I am checking it with a Hanna Phosphate Checker.
My system is a 20L with a 15 gallon sump that I run a NO3 block in and have 7ish gallon chamber with chaeto algae in it that seems to be increasing in size greatly. I am running chemi pure blue.
For live stock I have a clown, cardinal, watchman goby, pistol shrimp. Then I have 5 snails and 2 blue leg crabs. I feed 3 times a week.
I am looking for advice how to get and keep my levels down. I haven't added and chemicals or removers I was hoping the refugium would remove some but at this point it seems like that isn't going to happen.
