I'm wondering at what level phosphate do corals stop calcifying? I've been battling Dinos for ever and the only thing that seems to help is phosphate 0.08 is it safe to go higher than 0.12?

How much should I raise phosphate daily till the maximum of lAbsolutely.
at this point color is not important just want the Dinos gone!!I run about 1.0. Your color may not be as vibrant but I have not noticed that.
Im going to bring phosphate up to 1.00 should I raise No3 above 6ppm? My No3 has been at 6ppm for three months without adding NeoNitro and today when I tested No3 I noticed a small dropI run about 1.0. Your color may not be as vibrant but I have not noticed that.
Shh dont tell anybody. My nitrates are at 60-80. ;NailbitingSofties are doing well. I just added a Duncan. Duncan has been in for about 3 weeks doing really well. I dont have any sps.Do I use the 30:1 rule when fighting Dinos? 30ppm No3 sounds really high!!
Tell me what you are doing to combat dino. I had dino and beat them back in 17-18How much should I raise phosphate daily till the maximum of l

I'm using two magnum polishers with diotom powder and trying to keep phosphate up. I only run the polishers when I clean the glass. I had phosphate at 0.08 and they were hardly notable and I thought I would let the phosphate drop on its own and soon as I got a 0.02 reading they bloomed again.Tell me what you are doing to combat dino.

Thanks that's why I wanted to ask someone before I make a GHA nightmare!! So I'll keep aiming for 0.08 phosphate and leave No3 above 5ppm. Or is more No3 needed for my Dinos problem?I’ve battled dinos a couple of times. I think you just need measurable phosphates so that dinos competitors can survive. If you have a good test kit and really have phosphates about 0.08, I don’t know why you would go higher.
5 should be fine just keep an eye and make sure it doesn't dip anymore.Thanks that's why I wanted to ask someone before I make a GHA nightmare!! So I'll keep aiming for 0.08 phosphate and leave No3 above 5ppm. Or is more No3 needed for my Dinos problem?
If your willing to take the time to dial it in then absolutely.Is phosphate something I should just setup on a dosing pump?
It took around three of these "false starts" before I was able to let my numbers come down a bit. Now enough time has passed without dinos that I can bring them down any time I want, but I will maintain them no lower than 5 and .04 indefinitely.I'm using two magnum polishers with diotom powder and trying to keep phosphate up.

I believe dino are always present. The key is do we change enough for them to bloom.It took around three of these "false starts" before I was able to let my numbers come down a bit.
