In another thread I described my accidental overdosing carbon chain, not monitoring phosphate that lead to zero testable phosphates and RTN of an nice tort. My phosphates were around 0.08 and dropped to 0.00 over two weeks.
Since the RTN of my tort I turned off skimmer, stopped carbon dosing and increased feeding tank from once per week to every other day. SPS growth, color and polyp extension are amazing. Just tested phosphates (it’s been five days) and reading is 0.01 (see pic).
How long until I should start seeing phosphate levels rise? My goal is to get phosphates slowly back up to around 0.10
PS I do still have a couple spots of hair algae that I’ve named and just live with them.
