Fellow reefers,
I’m in phosphate hell here.
Ws at .5, got it down to .34 through a few water changes.
Popped my yellow tang into the tank and a foxface. Few days later it is now .62. I’m concerned. The refugium I started doesn’t seem to be helping, although I got some more chaeto from the barn today.
Also been dosing live phytoplankton, 30 ml. For 90 gallon volume each night, idk how much that would affect. I’m also probably over feeding if I’m being honest.
Other parameters are standard,
Temp: 79
Salinity: 1.025
NO3 - 15-20
Alk: 10.4 (bit high, figuring out new doser)
Cal: 500
Mag: 1350
Should I start dosing phosguard or something? Appreciate the advice.
*edit - also dosing amino acids per instructions about three times per week
