20 gallon QT with A large maxima clam and about 15 small acro frags. 2 pieces of small/medium rocks, no sand.
I have 80 astrea snails inside (they are getting QT) I’m dosing 10mL of neophos from brightwell about every day but it shoots back down to 0.01-0.02ppm every day as well.
In addition to dosing phosphates, I am feeding the snails these algae wafers.
My phosphates have this large rise and drop daily while nitrates are being kept stable around 5-6ppm
What am I doing wrong here? It seems like phosphates drop 0.07ppm daily.
I do 10% water changes weekly and dose Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride every hour during the daytime cycle.
I don’t have much algae growth but I am dealing with mild Dino’s which has decreased by a lot (maybe 5-10% remaining).
I want to grow algae in the tank instead of dinos and I want my corals to have N and P.
