It’s an easy thing to try. I’ve just never heard of anyone solving such a scenario with a carbon block swap.This is my theory:
Alk. 8.2
Calcium: 400
Mag: 1420
Phos: .15
Nitrate: 2
Salt 1.026
ICP test indicators all within normal limits with the exception of Iodine ( it was high but I resolved through water changes)
Weekly water changes of 5 gallons
My duncan coral is closed , Ginopora retracted, birds nest browned out showing signs of RTN
My neon green leather coral looks extremely good.
Ive had tons of success in this hobby and am pretty knowledgeable on basic reefing practices.
My theory is since my BRS dual carbon blocks havnt been changed in 8 or so months that im letting chloramines into my system.
