I have lost a few coral that I thought were due to low nutrient levels like nitrate and phosphate. My nitrate has been are 5 with my Hanna checker. With my Hanna phosphate checker I kept getting a reading of 0.00. I talked with people at my LFS and they said I might need a more accurate test kit for that because it might not be reading the super low numbers. I just got the Hanna phosphate ulr and I got a reading of 0.03. That means my corals do have food in the water.
So what is my problem? Is my tank still too young? Tank is 5 months old. All my other parameters are good. Maybe lighting is my problem. I haven’t figured out my par yet and have a random light schedule.
Right now I have 2 coral hat have as white tissue loss at the base. Is this a lighting problem?
