Just wanted to mention this. When ever my phosphates level goes up , it seems my sps corals grow more . I usually keep them at .05 to .03 , the last few weeks my po4 level have gone up ( daughter feed ta k behind my back ) now have a GHA bloom. Tested water level was at . 19 did water change n added gfo. But now I look and notice growth on almost all my sps . Guess higher po4 levels are good ?
