Hey all, so my phosphates have been elevated for quite some time now and even though corals seem to be happy with no sign of distress I need to get them down. As of today my PO4 is .45, Nitrates 40, Tested with Hanna then checked with Salifert.
Little back story on my tank I am running a LPS Dominant tank 120 Gallon, which has been running for 3 years now. Sump, Refugium, Skimmer, Marine Pure Block/Balls. Live rock from the start. I do 20% water changes weekly on time, these past few weeks I even did 40% each week but phosphates don’t seem to move.
I will admit I am overstocked with fish.
I do NOT want to go lathanium Chloride route, do not wanna use Phosphate-E I hear horror stories. I’d rather go more for a GFO route possibly w/reactor.
Any advice, Comments, Concerns will be greatly appreciated!! What should be the best course of action?
Thank you
