I decided to feed less this week 2-3x per day because I was feeding about 4-6 times per day medium amounts. I ended up testing and my nitrates dropped to 1.4 and phos down to .05. i immediately fed the tank 3x. Trates were 5.4 and phos .08 on Sunday
i added a new chunk of cheato that has gotten pretty big. I ended up shortening my fuge light to 12 hours
i also tested my alk and was glad to see the consumption has picked up again. Holding at 8.5 with dosing 12ml per day. It was 8.8 on Sunday.
Polyp extension is not great with most of the corals but feel that’s due to me screwing with my light settings and moving the corals around The last two weeks. Color is looking good except for one piece getting a little toasty from the light. Ended up moving him down to 250 par to see what happens.
my question, I regularly change about 8-10 gallons per week on my 32 gal and wonder if I still should do a water change this weekend.
thanks
