Hello reefers,
I was at vacation for 7 days and I left my tank with auto feeder and I made mistake with over dosing with food.
When I came back my tank was over taken with brown algae and high phosphate
2 torches and 1 hammer coral closed 90%. Other corals like GSP, candy cone, SPS's are fine.
Alk 7.7
Nitrate 5ppm
Amonia 0
Salinity 1.025
Temp 78.5f
Phosphate 0.25
48 hours ago phosphates were 0.50 so I managed to lower it to 0.25 with phosguard product and 20% water change.
So my question is, when I lower back phosphates so desired levels, will corals recover and how long does it take?
Thanks!
