Icp ati test sent out today right?

 

[RichtheReefer21]

And the first water change... I'm gonna ride ur rump till its done.

 

[Fudsey]

Well it's not nearly as bad as I was thinking. Got a Salifert NO3 test kit today and it shows exactly 50. So there's something else going on. I also got an API nitrite test kit that I will test later to see if it shows any NO2.

Glad u checked it again. My money is on a bacterial die off due to a spike or drop off in one of the trace elements. Which is spiking ur no2 and screwing up ur results on no3.

Hopefully it's just that. U order new supplements?

 

[Fudsey]

Not yet.....

This actually had the guys at Mike's scratching their heads too.... His lead tech that does most of the in home service was stumped too.

U know I'm always rooting for u pops.. keep me/us updated.

I am losing my Euphyllia. Frog spawn is losing heads and I am down to only a few left of both. Lost my old Hammer about month and half ago also. New hammer is unaffected so far. Not sure what is causing this. NO3 is 50 but everything else is where it should be. No jelly that I can see, it looks like polyp bailout. I am at a loss as to what may be causing it.

I feed LRS Reef Frenzy daily, pellets 2x/day and ReefRoids weekly. They both get different flow and light and were fine up until a couple months ago.

NO3 - 50
PO4 - .07
dkH - 9.3
Ca - 430
Mg - 1440
pH - 8.0-8.2
Salinity - 1.025

Have you tried changing their locations, if possible?

I am sorry to hear this my friend, are you going to try to frag it to save some heads? probably the dkH is too high for it, perhaps something closer to 8.0 would help.

@Brew12 I did try a bit but not really possible to move much...

@PanchoG I will lower it an see.

You don't run any phosphate remover, do you?

GFO & ROX mixed

GFO & ROX mixed

I'd cut back on the GFO and let your PO4 come up to 1ppm to 0.1ppm to 0.14ppm. Typically, 0.07ppm would be fine but you may have something interfering with your test and could be bottoming it out.

Edit: Or you could send out an ICP sample to verify you have what your test kit shows.
