I’m so stressed! If I tell you my situation can someone please help!!!
So my tank has been up and running fine. I have fish and some corals everything was going good.
I added a bubble tip anemone 4/5 days ago. Unfortunately it went for a wonder at night and got caught in a powerhead despite having a guard on it. I woke up and had to fish the left over pieces of anemone out of my tank. I was devastated. Fish were all ok and swimming and eating fine. Water was extremely cloudy. I did a 50% water change and added prime as my water was reading 0.5 ammonia.
The next day done another 20% water change. Everything was fine and is fine. However, my water gets so cloudy after having the lights on for a few hours. In the morning it’s clear and corals are open and amazing and 2 hours later water cloudy and some corals closed up.
I’ve tested my water and nitrates are 2 and phosphate is 0! I’ve tried added neophos but nothing is raising it. I’ve added carbon to my sump so see if that helps but all it’s done is lower the ph and I don’t know how to get it back up. What could be causing the cloudy water and how do I raise my phosphate and ph?
