Hi everyone , I was hoping I could get some input on why my dam phosphate is so high in my reef tank. I have a 40 gallon with hob filter/skimmer various corals , 2 clowns, 1 Spanish hoggish, blue devil damsel, scooter blennny, splendid dottyback, long spine urchin, and 2 cleaner shrimp.
I have been feeding one cube of marine cuisine daily.
My parameters are, alk 11 dkh, mg 1400, calc 425
0 ammonia, 5 nitrate, 0 nitrite ph 8.1 and phosphate of 2ppm. I did recently add chaeto to my DT to help with nitrates and phosphate as I have just battled Dino’s and my nutrients were crazy. Everything seems to be ok besides my phosphate, I’ve tried nopox, phosguard to no effect on phosphate. I have ordered some GFO to help but what should I be doing in the meantime or stop doing because my phosphate seems ever increasing.
Thanks
