Need coral help

[JOKER]

Stability is key. Maybe they are onto something. I have a frag tank running with no skimmer or any means of nutrient export except for WC which I am guilty of going too long between. Nitrates are high, phosphate are ok but alk cal salinity are all pretty stable.

So I had my phosphates checked on a low grade Hannaford pro reader...it was .026

You have an apex? What's your ph low at night and the high during the day?

 

[gcrawford]

Possibly too much light.

Problem is the probe is broke. I had to order a new one. My phosphates are pretty high, Im assuming that is the problem.

I have the bigger Two Little Fishies Phosban reactor. I believe I am not using enough ROWAPHOS. How much should I be filling it?

Just for my own curiosity please post the ph low and peak when you get the new probe. It kills more lps and sps than phosphate and it's often overlooked. I"m not saying that's the problem but at least half the time when people come to me with this kind of issue that's what it is. 7.4 or 7.5 for a winter ph low is not uncommon even without a ca reactor.
