So I finally started getting my p04 and N03 up as I had a tough time with very low paramaters. I am now dosing twice weekly Fauna Marin Coral dust, and AB+ alternate days. My p04 was 0.10 on monday but now its 0.18. Strange thing is that the day before I got 0.10 I dosed both coral dust and AB+ and there wasnt any difference in p04 and n03..

Some other points.. yest I spent a couple of hours in the sump modifying pipes, had my stones which I broke into smaller pieces and the sump was quite murkey. Could this be the reason why paramaters went higher? My other paramaters are quite high also:

P04: 0.18
N03: 4.1 (good)
DKH 175/9.8 (could it be due to breaking the stones?)
Mag: 1455
Cal: 490
Salinity:34

Another point: I am in the process of changing salts from Aquaforest to Fauna Marin Salt.

Why are you going after specific numbers? Are you seeing any negative issues with your current numbers?

Too many changes at the same time would be hard to pin point the cause. I would stop dosing chemicals and wait until your tank stabilize. Test kits are not always 100% accurate. Relax and happy reefing.
