I'm having trouble with some of my SPS. Many are going great but a few pieces not so great.
8x54w TEK Elite pushes 250 par at the sandbed and almost 400 on top of the rocks
120g DT / ~150 total volume
Salinity 1.025 (refractometer)
alkalinity 9.5 (Hanna)
calcium 440 (Red Sea Pro)
magnesium 1420 (Red Sea Pro)
temp 78-79.5 (Apex)
nitrate 0 (API) confirmed at LFS
PO4 .00-.03 (Hanna)
I dose BRS 2-part with dosers to hold cal and alk levels.
I was running GFO but after this problem started I stopped. It seems the Fuge/chaeto is holding the PO4 down on its own.
I'm at a loss here and hoping for some help from the gurus
