Mines been hold at
No3 around 22 to 24
Po4 around 0.12

That’s what my nitrates and phosphates are steady at as well

I stopped testing except for salinity. I feed my fish 3 - 4 times a day so I struggled with high PO4 and NO3... now I'm blissfully ignorant of what my levels are so no more stressing about it lol

I wish I’d kept to that lol but now I know I really have to get those phosphates in check. Then I can go back to no testing.

Be careful dosing lanthium chloride with your wrasses.

Ooh
Had not seen the dangers and I don’t use filter socks. Have to see about the skimmer method.

My Phosphates are at 0.12-0.14... Nitrates are 75.0+ (sorry, can't figure out how to make the numbers flash so you'll have to understand the+ means flashing - @Projects with Sam no, just no)...

I dose 10 ml vinegar daily (probably should up that?) And 10 ml phosphates daily (probably shouldn't up that).

The joys of FOWLR. All I test is nitrate and phosphate. :smirking-face:

Well, when I kill all the coral I'll have a fowlr too

Alk was 115, then 124, then I dosed again. So it's climbing.

In my coral tank I’m dosing nitrate and bacto balance and my numbers are finally perfect. About 1.0 N and 0.05 Ph but it was such a battle getting my phosphates down. Stuck at 0.7 forever.

Or a FOWDC

I'm pondering dosing vinegar.

may add a slimmer too...

Gonna put the tank on a diet???

I'm pondering dosing vinegar.

I started. Haven't tested since so I have. O clue how it's going. Also my nitrates were flashing so I don't actually know what they are.

I'm only dosing 10ml and should probably be dosing 30 or 40 ml...

 

[Mschmidt]

Gonna put the tank on a diet???

yup

 

[Mschmidt]

I'd please @i can't think @Slocke @tbrown or others.

Bodianus axillaris I believe. Aka axilspot hogfish. @SaltyT ?

Thanks and good call tagging her too.

 

[tbrown]

That's the closest I could find. Don't know much about hogfish.

the search machine agrees. adult coloration, but not nearly the size it says.
