Don't worry I'm in the same boat the last I checked. I haven't checked in 2 yrs. A little bubble algea that my foxface is working on.
Phosphate was at .25.
Only reason I check is the Battlecorals Grow Out contest(s) I'm officiating. Numbers never lie, and if there's a trend to be seen, I want to see it.

I think contest has everyone buttoned up.

My dad does fishing tourneys for bass. Fishes with these guys all the time. Comes to a contest and they all button up, dont say what worked , where they fished or anything. Its sorta stupid.

Im here to learn and share and grow.

Mostly learn and share my pain.... lol

Will continue to keep the cafe updated on phos and nitrate progress. Sticks are all still alive, dinos slowly going away again. Mini outbreak from bottoming out. I can share that. If you bottom phos out accidently after having dinos. They will come back. immediately. And probably take a similar effort to get them to go away.

I know I am. Working towards it. But I definitely don't want to go from low to .1-.2 overnight
I get it, but you've been holding super low, for months and two dino outbreaks.. if you're trying to work it up, your doing it too slowly.

Keep in mind all of the rock and sand in your system will absorb it and release it to equilibrium. If you continue to dose it up in Single digit hundredths, you're just using it all, not stockpiling it.

Well ... I have been... 40ml a day should get me +.2 a day.

I was gone for a trip and feeding was every other day.

So having some was good.
I don't want to rocket it up and shock corals. Do y'all believe it won't?

I've had some tell me go slow with raising. So I am.
No adding a lot will not. It is involved in biological processes more than chemical. It isn't like alk or calcium or ph. It's organics... DUMP IT IN ALREADY ;)
