I always dose Phos RX into my skimmer and havent had any problems. Anyway. Yet another vote here for 0.06 ppm PO4 isnt going to cause mass browning. Ive run double that or more for months and months and had very colorful sps. Problem lies elsewhere.

0.06 was a typo
His po4 is 0.6
Desertreeft4r’s like earned me a Love It trophyYeah it was crap
0.4-0.6 is high but I hate gfo and carbon dosing, they made my numbers perfect but made my corals white skeletons. I prefer lanthium chloride to bring down phosphates. You might actually not have enough par and they’re brown from being stressed and starved. I’m in the 713 as well. I can bring my par meter over to rule that out.
LC will not effect alk enough to worry about unless you are dosing a lot. Dose LC at half the needed dose to lower it from .6 to .05, wait a day and repeat. Slowly lower po4 dont do it all at once. Its a dose to lower it and you dont need to dose it again until po4 rises again. I would not dose daily unless I was having a bad po4 issue that was staying constant. A large water change is always a good way to reduce unwated nutrients as well.
That really puts my mind at ease. My bro recently bought some expensive gfo and bragged about how much more efficient it works vs regular Gfo. Said he can give me some. Should i try give that a try or stick to the LC which i already have a bottle handy.
