I have printed out and will read the articles provided to me regarding the phosphates and calcium problems. I may have caused all of this, about 2 months ago I had an outbreak of ick. I tried to remove the fish (at that time 5 fish in tank) but could not catch them due to the large amount of live rock. I medicated the tank with knock-ick. I'm not sure if this resulted in problems I can't see like bacteria in the sand and live rock dieing. Anyway, the Ick is gone and now I am trying to correct any water problems that I have.
I do not have a phosphate tests but will get some. I have brown algae that grows on the tank glass (not alot) and do not seem to have near the algae growth i did when the tank was new.
I will contiune with the water changes until I figue out whats going on - My corals ( mushrooms) look great, but always have. The others open and close each day, so I don't know if this is causing them a problem or not.
Thanks again -
If I were this bad at my job, I would not have one !
