Need some help with LPS

My Hanna is so quick, it's incredible.

Its weird, the ALK test seems to be on point. The phosphate kit, I cannot get to read. Every time I do a PHOS test, it reads zero.

Is it the standard or low range model?

I think it's standard.

 

[Elementalj]

It's still low range I believe.

There's the phosphate ULR kit, standard low range, and the high range kit. If it just says phosphate you're still good to go. If you're concerned about accuracy, you can cross check with another type of test i.e. Salifert, or Red Sea

Could be a flow issue. Corals might not be able to get food and release waste properly

Yeah, you're probably not having a flow issue. [emoji12][emoji13]

So, maybe someone could chime in. If it was a lighting issue, or at least in part, how come when I had no fish in there, all the coral was fully extended and growing like crazy, then a few weeks after the fish go back in, they start looking crappy?
