Im newer to reef keeping and im in the middle of battling dinos my nitrates were undetectable and my phosphate was at .04 dosed to raise the nitrates to 2 ppm and the next day my nitrates looked to be about 1 ppm but my phosphate went down to .02 i repeated the dosage and my nitrates still...
So last night I did my weekly phosphate test and got a reading of 0.5. This is over 3 times the highest reading I’ve ever had on this tank!! I normally run under 0.1 and actually have to dose phosphates and nitrates occasionally because they tend to bottom out. I added GFO to
My carbon...
So about a year ago all my coral got nuked due to some heavy metal contamination and I switched to FOWLR but i wanted to give it another try and I'm trying to get my parameters in coral range but im having PO4 issues. For the past month or so they have been consistently 2.0ppm which is obviously...
Just getting back in so not sure if to spend on the Hanna checkers for calc alk mag and phos or purchase something else like red sea or api or any other out there now
I have 3 mixed reef tanks with fish--Office 75 gal, Dining 120 gal, and Living 75 gal. All have sumps with refugiums, protein skimmers, and APEX with Trident. I have never measured the phosphate before but I bought a Hanna Marine Master for Christmas and decided to give it a shot. The phosphate...

I have been consistently getting 0 on Nitrate and Phosphate. I have chaeto in a back chamber that’s literally doubling in size in about a weeks time. I give it 18 hours of light which I’d read was recommended. I also have green hair algae forming on the sand. As of yesterday, my ammonia level...
About a year ago I made the mistake of buying a problem tank off Craigslist because it was a good deal (no extra charge for the algae). I’ve been fighting it on and off since. I’ve had bubble, hair, dino(I think) and most recently a red/purple one (red slime?) Also, my coral is clearly not...
Had a bump in PO4 for the past two weeks, been monitoring but not coming down. I auto-water change 10% / 25 gallons a week split over the seven days and have approx. 30 gallons mixed each Sunday for the coming week using RODI and Tropic Marin Pro salt - Have been doing this for a couple of years...

Heyo,
**
Questions:
- from what I'd read if I were to dose some of the calcium carbonate part of my b ionic solution it - seemed like I could precipitate out some phos into crystals, out of water column, but being that I don't have a skimmer I don't think this would be beneficial to export it...
Hey guys,
some Phos questions.
So 0 phos in my tank lately (hanna chekcer), dinoflagellate outbreak- covered my sand, rocks, corals etc. Turned lights off in my tank 3 days, dosed 15 ml of NeoPhos for 250g. (According to directions, 19mls would have given me a level of 0.02 for the tank). Hanna...
Hello.
I would like know your experience dousing nopox when you have uv sterilizer and ozone, it have some problem or maybe or know if the ozone and uv reduce the nopox effect
That is because i have the two systems and i start yo use nopox but the nitrates level doesnt star to be reduced
