Just did my weekly water tests and I continue to be disappointed by my numbers.
Nitrates (Red Sea) probably pushing 30 (guess the color) and Phosphates (Hanna ULR Phosphorus) hit 200 which is the max - 0.613ppm. Both have been climbing since bottoming out last September (fought dinos in December).
It feels like now we're starting to snowball which is beginning to make me panic except...the tank doesn't look bad. Algae isn't out of control, I even find myself supplementing my urchin. But I'm sure there is a breaking point here.
Weekly water changes aren't cutting it. I tried GFO and again saw little change if any. I'm considering NO3O4-X or Phosphāt-E but I'm worried about upsetting a system that still shows hints of dinos.
Tank is 11 months old, started with dry rock.
