low

Hello reefing community, My parameters are: Nitrates 8.5 Phosphates .01/.02 Alk 8 Mg 1450 Calcium 440 I have some few hair algae. My corals look like if they are starving. My question is. Should i get my phosphates higher?

I have an established tank that’s about 2 years. I noticed LPS has been receding but my SPS is taken off. I finally did some testing and I realized my nitrates was undetectable and now I started dosing for a few days now. What are the bad effects of having low nitrates ?

I am dosing iquatics kh buffer daily (0.3g) to maintain kh 8.4 Whilst calcium stays steady at 420-400, magnesium is dropping. I am dosing magnesium salt every day to maintain at 1360. Without this it falls to around 1200. Even a water change will lower it to 1290. salt params are way higher...

so on my quest to raise my nitrates I have upped my feeding. I only have two clowns and a hermit clean up crew. Feeding half a cube of frozen mysis daily. loads are left uneaten. Cuc do what they can. GHA is speeding up and nitrates haven’t budged. do you think I just need another fish ? Tank...

Hi so I got my first 2 clowns in my tank today of 90 gallons. But every so often only ONE of the Clowns will go to the surface and grab air OCCASIONALLY, the other one swims and explores. Normally they swim like nothing wrong. if I get too close they dart to the bottom so I had to record from...

I have posted a thread a few hours before this one but couldn't get a response I was looking for. So basically my magnesium level won't go up. I was able to get my magnesium from 1140 to 1185 today, but after 1185, and after dosing more...the number wouldn't move. Tried 3x. My magnesium mix is...

I can't seem to raise magnesium, I am worried that if I put anymore in that maybe the levels will come up overnight for some reason? Pls help not sure if I am wasting my 2 part magnesium mix. My levels at the start of the day was 1140 magnesium, it is now at 1185. Can't seem to get it to 1200.
