Haven't been around enough the past couple weeks to run test all my levels. On 6/23 my phosphate was 0.09 using the Hanna checker. Today (7/11) I measure it at 0.17. I significantly reduced my nutrients export 4-5 months ago because I was battling dinos. My skimmer was running only 12hrs everyday, wasn't doing many water changes, took out my fleece roller, overfeeding, etc. I also, had two tangs die in my tank that were unable to be taken out.
Tank is about 7 months old and has 9 fish in it that are pretty small. So the bio load is pretty low.
Will simply adding my filter socks back (not fleece roller yet) and running my skimmer full time take care of this for now instead of using GFO?
Could the two tangs I lost in the tank that are dead cause a phosphate spike?
