I have a larger reef that I’ve been having low phosphate levels.
nitrates have been in the 15-20 range but phosphate is always tough to stay readable. 2 days ago I was at .04, today is zero. I feed heavy ( 5x’s a day with 5 cubes of frozen each feeding) on top of that I usually dose ReefRoids (1-2 teaspoons) 3-4 times a week and Neophos if below .05 I usually test nitrates and phosphate daily simply because levels can bottom out overnight. I also dose 3 liquid coral foods and Acropower at least 3-4 times a week. Perhaps I’m looking too far into this but I certainly don’t want nutrient levels to bottom out. Any suggestions?
