520 gallon mixed reef and predator tank. I have been dealing with some gha the past few months and i felt like i had turned a corner these past couple weeks, have a lot less of it and a lot of my coral was looking awesome. The past week though i noticed my acros had all lost a lot of color and one of my chalices had some loss of tissue. All my euphillia still looks super happy as does most my lps in general my phosphates keep going through the roof. I haven't been running a refuge or my reactor, i don't dose carbon right now or use gfo.
Parameters:
1.025 salinity
77-78 temp
8.8 alk
1380 mag
500 calc
nitrates constistently 0
phosphates have been ranging from .4 to .6
Stocking:
about a dozen pin cushion/tuxedo urchins
Blonde Naso Tang (10 inches)
Vlamingi (7 inches)
Purple Tang (5 inches)
California Common Stingray (id guess like 7 inches in diameter)
Marbled Catshark (12 inches)
bird wrasse (5 inch)
Cherry Grouper (3 inch)
I am going to starting running GFO but really not sure whats going on here. Every time i try feeding more nitrates stay bottomed out and phosphates keep climbing. I have tried salifert and numbers are consistent. I also run a calcium reactor with reborn media.
