I have been acquiring dry rock for several months preparing myself to completely redo my 180 aquascape. I have pulsing xenia and pink and gold palys smothering all my rock and I want to remove all of that rock and start over.
I have made 3 large structures with the dry rock and reef cement that I will be using to replace my tank's rock with.
The rock is has been cycling in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid trough for over a month now and the phosphates keep going to 2.50 on the Hannah phosphate checker. I think 2.50 is the max that test can see so I'm sure it's well above 2.50.. I do water changes once a week of 100%. And the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates have all stabilized to 0. Can't lower the phosphates though.
Any tips?
