What are some reasons for low phosphate?
Bare bottom 120, medium bio load, 1year old.
I have been struggling with higher nitrates and resulting green hair algae. Ihave been vodka dosing to lower the nitrates however, it has not seemed to lower nitrate as well as I would like. Green hair algae was starting to get a bit concerning when about a month ago it seem to die back pretty quickly.
testing the phosphates I discovered it was at zero and started dosing Neophos at 1 to 2 mls a day which made a big difference in coral health
I feed pretty heavy, 3–5 cubes of brine/Misys per day plus some pellets.
I don’t particularly like having to dose Phosphates and was wondering if there were specific reasons for high nitrate, low phosphate imbalance. Thanks.
