waterbox 220.6 170 gallon tank
My phosphate levels are 2.50+ (Hanna checker)
I have a Diatom bloom which I’ve been trying to vacuum out and changing filter socks 2 to 3 times a day and blew the diatoms off the rocks with a baster.
I have 2 favias, hammer,frogspawn and 3x Zoanthids. All very small.
2x clowns, a hippo and watchman goby.
I’ve put in a bag of GFO, Chemipure (for silicates)
Media reactor has carbon and GFO.
And I have a small ball of chaeto with lights on at night for 7 hours
my other parameters
DKH: 9.95
Nitrate: 13.1
Calcium: 483
Mag:1430
PH: 8
Phosphate 2.5+
I’ve been slow dosing two little fishies Cbalance because my DK was tanking.
Any idea why everything isn’t dead. Everything looks fine but Goby was acting funny.
And does the diatom bloom skew the phosphate tests?
