I top down coral viewer and a brown clip on filterBut, but, how????
No current pic of your WD?
Nice. Get you a top down viewer and a clip on filter for your acro dominant reef and pics will look a lot better
T-5s are off. Turned on the Reefbrite LED just for you.

Haha, I don't mind at all. I'm always willing to look at pictures of acros! I was actually thinking the same thing, how do you take such good pictures with the iPhone, now I know. Start taking them top down.She has a couple of children:
Will do. Then I'll photobomb your threads instead of @ryshark's thread.

Picture proof is always encouraged in my threads. Most ppl are quick to type what they’ve read here or on the back of a bottle or heard works but don’t have the proof/experience to back it up. Advice is worthless otherwise in my opinion.She has a couple of children:

rowaphos is basically gfo right? Im having pretty good results using it to maintain my tank aorund .08 -.12Picture proof is always encouraged in my threads.

My no3 is 15-50Do you run rowaphos in a reactor? I'm getting closer to hooking something up, I can't have higher PO4 than @Chaswood79 Now I'm up to 0.19 today and my Nitrate looked to be almost 10 today, Salifert.
8/25 my PO4 was 0.14
9/5 my PO4 was 0.17
9/12 =0.19
The smart thing for me to do today would be to take the autofeeder offline. 50%+ of the food goes down the overflow anyway.
I don't have many corals, only 3-acros and a torch. That new angry bird from the other thread is definitely stressed, but that's probably unrelated. The others don't look stressed and I don't have any algae issues.My no3 is 15-50
Do your corals look stressed?
Just cut your feedings back. I have another tank with po4 at 0.65 last time I checked. 0.25 isn’t going to kill your sps. It just means you’re over feeding a bit. But freaking out and stripping the water will do some irreversible damage.I don't have many corals, only 3-acros and a torch.

Do you run carbon?Do you run rowaphos in a reactor? I'm getting closer to hooking something up, I can't have higher PO4 than @Chaswood79 Now I'm up to 0.19 today and my Nitrate looked to be almost 10 today, Salifert.

I don’t. I do have some unopened rox, I used to run it years ago.Do you run carbon?
I cut the feedings increased the skimming and did a 20% water change 2-weeks ago and PO4 is still rising. I think it’s time do do something. I’ve got 3-ideas below.Just cut your feedings back.

Just do option 3 and use 1/3-1/2 of what they recommend for your tank, monitor the tank and effluent. Don’t over think it.I cut the feedings increased the skimming and did a 20% water change 2-weeks ago and PO4 is still rising. I think it’s time do do something. I’ve got 3-ideas below.

1. Get the Coral Snow Plus, this “plus” version says it reduces Phosphate somehow. They don’t say how but I’m assuming it has LC mixed in the coral snow. I like the regular Coral snow to polish the water occasionally, since I don’t use carbon. But I’ve never tried the Plus.
2. Try zeobak and/or zeostart to have beneficial bacteria remove the nutrients. However, I’d prefer to only reduce phosphate not nitrate.
3. Bust out the GFO reactor and go super slow.
That’s actually the biggest reason I’m dragging my feet with it, it’s a little of a pain to change it out regularly. Same reason why I don’t have filter socks on this tank.I add 10 drops of LC to bring my po4 down. Even if I liked gfo it’s such a nasty mess to deal with.
