my phosphates have been consistently testing at .25 (api test kit), nitrate nitrite and ammonia all zero. For nutrient export I’m doing weekly 10% water changes and chaeto in the Refugium. I have minor brownish algae in the sand bed, nothing in the rocks. I have a lot of algae that grows in the sump, including on the chateo (which I’m not a fan of). My grow light spills everywhere and isn’t confined just to the refugium compartment. I don’t think I overfeed and I’m not overstocked. 4 fish in a 35g cube. I feed half cube of 50/50 a day. No corals yet, just a rock anemone. Various cleanup crew.
Will adding a skimmer help with phosphates? I really don’t want 0 nutrients as I know some corals and anemones prefer some nutrients. What other options do I have for phosphate control?
