PO4 always that low? With test error, could be zero.

How is the flow across them? I see you have another PH on the way.

It’s usually a bit higher , only been 0.03 for a week, before it was 0.1 , it’s been swinging a bit
I can see polyps on the green monti

Should I fresh water dip the green mo to see if anything comes off it?

No fresh water, that will kill it.
You can coral dip it tho.

Ok I’ll get some from lfs , do nudis live on the monti so I’ll see it in the bowl after the dip?

80 par, that’ll do it !
