Here’s my numbers at the moment.
With salifert:
Alk- 8.6
Phos- .02
Mag- 1200

With Fluval master kit:
PH- 8.0
Nitrite- 0.1
Nitrate- 3

I started my tank the end of last November and it’s been going good so far. Tho I have noticed in the past couple months my hammer and Duncan don’t look the best, and the frogspawn will barely come out anymore. I just started dosing All For Reef today at a little more than half the dose. Figured I’d give it a few weeks to see if there’s a change. I know I could probably up my mag to 1400 or more but the AFR has mag added so I’ll obviously wait it out.
Any ideas ?

Well that’s perfect but I’m not a fan of .5 po4 , others will say it’s fine but I have an acro heavy tank that don’t like too high phos
Did you go from 0.02-.5 in a day?

I get what you’re sayin. It’s been about a week to get to that. Now I’ll let it drop slowly

Lesson learned I guess
Not sure about that. When I made this post and asked this question a week ago my phos was low and I had the exact problem with my hammer and frogspawn.
My mag is just under 1200 now so I’m gonna assume that’s the problem since everything else looks ok or is at least in range.
