I have problems with phosphates for a while, usually they are between 0.1 and 0.25 which is way too high.
I started using Brightwell Phosphat-E to drastically decrease it and I notice the fish started to look strange for a day or two, breathing heavily, moth wide open etc.
po4 went down and I was hoping I will be fine for at least a week or two?
boy I was wrong.
5 days later I notice one of the coral colonies started bleaching, others not open. I tested my parameters, po4 is around 1ppm!
how is that even possible? what causes phosphate to spike so drastically?
