I started playing with bringing down the phosphate, all was going well until I got real busy and salinity got out of hand three months ago - LARS on crack. Alk dropped too. SPS started losing tissue on the tips and, what seemed to protozoans started popping the polyps off of LPS. Lots of colt coral disintegrated and likely released all kinds of nasties, and shot the nitrate through the roof, which likely means ammonia too. Some stuff was rock solid all the way through, some wasn't. It was not a happy time.
This put a dent in the phosphate work, so we will see if I become aggressive on that front again - is't down from like 1.8 to around .4
It seems like the tank is back on track now, with new stuff holding fine, and old stuff recovering. Just my luck, I am off to the field and MACNA for two weeks, so hopefully everything holds.
Here is a quick video using one of the new phone filters
Stunning!!!
