Hello reefer
I am having a problem getting my nitrates and phosphate under control. My 110 gallon tank is 10 years old and really, until recently, never had an issue with phosphate or nitrate. I have a pellet reactor, GFO filter, and using x nitrate and phoguard. I also have an algae scrubber. I run an icp test about every 6-8 weeks and about 6 weeks ago notice that phosphate and nitrate were higher than I’ve seen. I do 20 percent water change weekly. As of this morning my Hanna tests showed nitrates 11.5 ppm and phosphate .09 ppm. Overall corals look fine with one exception my leather coral is not looking good. I assume it’s related. Really nothing has changed for years and I can’t figure out the source
