Fuge Rites phosphate

[ElkinReefer]

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 change and still have .15 phosphate and 18.4 rites. Do I not have a bright enough light for the fuge or not enough chato. I am using rodi water for salt mix and ato

Hello! Welcome to R2R!!!

So I can't tell if it's my eyes or the picture, but the fuge light looks very blue. Generally fuge lights have a more red or pinkish color for macros or a you could even do full spectrum, white lights. Also, how much flow is going through the refugium? I ask because it looks like the chaeto is just sitting at the bottom. So that may be your issue, you may need some more water flow in there to get it moving a bit.

It’s a eshopps aqua fuge 100 so the wall is a blue color. The light is a mix of blue and red to give a pinkish color. There is a small cutout from the overflow section that allows water in. The chato with tumble every so often
