SkullV's 40 Breeder SPS Reef

You and I have opposite problems. My nitrates are 0-2ppm, but my phosphates are sky high. I didn't have any algae/nitrates, so I started feeding more. I just got my hanna checker phosphate in to find my phosphates at 0.55 ppm! I now have a little algae on the rocks (but not a ton). I have a GFO reactor on the way. Going to combine that with water changes to see if I can get that down.

What are you using to test n?
You may actually be in exactly the same position and a bit of nitrate dosing could help drop p..

I am testing nitrate with a Red Sea kit. I just set up a GFO reactor today, so I hope that helps. I am only at 2 fish. Maybe more would help a bit.

Hi Ted, I have the same problem since the begining of my new tank, right now I have nitrate 25ppm and 0 Phosphate, but what is surprising is that I have the corals with light colors, maybe it's because too much light (LED) or the lack of phosphate, and I clean my glass only once a week!! I'm thinking in dosing Monopotassium phosphate again, It was the solution I found in the past when dosing vodka, now I have 700ml of AIO BioPellets.

This thread needs an update urgently. Hope things are alright with the tank.

Bump. Hope that the lack of updates is just because you are busy. Would love to see an update.
