phospahates

Hello, I am wanting to hear from some experienced reefers and get some advice on how I should approach this situation. I have noticed in the last 2-3 weeks small changes to my zoanthids, chalice, and overall look of my tank. Specifically, zoas seem to have a few heads close or barely open...

Hello everyone! I was just curious on what everyone keeps their phosphates at in their reef tank?! I have a 15 G Nano tank with softies and LPS. My phosphates on my Hanna checker ULR is 0.06. Is this acceptable? Just looking for some opinions because I have seen mixed reviews online! Thanks in...

Hi all, my tank is 3 months old and I have made the decision to cycle some Caribsea life rock away from my main display which is eventually going to replace existing rock in my tank, as I believe my crazy high phosphate levels of 0.21ppm are being caused by leaching phosphate from the rock that...

I have a 164 gallon Red Sea Reefer 625 G2 with a ReefMat 1200, Red sea protein skimmer, and refugium with 4 different types of algae (sea lettuce, chaeto, red ogo, pom pom) under an AI Fuge light. My schedule for things are: Lighting: 12pm - 7pm, main lights on Skimmer: Was running 24\7 a week...

Hello , I need help to determine if my levels are good. I’m keeping mostly LPS and softies. Thank you

First time posting on reef 2 reef. Been asking for advice from a Facebook good but haven’t had any luck. I have a 75 gallon display with a 18gallon sump. I have a fuge going, but to me the rites and phosphate are still to high. I had .17 on the phosphate and 17.6 on rites. Done a 20% water...

I see a trend towards people using lanthanum products to control PO4 these days, however I had a bad experience the one time I tried using Phosphate-E, and never could get a refugium dialed in... So I have stuck to old-school GFO in a reactor... What methods are you currently employing to...
