I will probably stop water changes for a bit and feed every day ,,I think I may be to clean and do to much upkeep ,i literally have a protein skimmer with marine pure block only in a sump ..I will test this weekend from outside sources... i also pulled my chemi pure blue because it has GFO / phosphate absorption.. I have a ppm low range Hana phosphate checker reads 0.01 ..,alk stays between 9.0 and 9.3 calcium around 420-30..I’ve had Dino’s before but different type
I also find no I’ll effects ..no sails are dying lps is fine and thrive pretty well .. I started getting into sps and want to excel with them but I have to find a balance in my nitrate and phosphate also am considering testing for silicates just In case it’s not Dino
