Here is a quick question and observation I have.
My tank has been up and running for 9 months now and has been very stable. I have a mix of softies, lps, a fews sps and zoas. Everything was flourishing for the first 6-7 months until I fired up the GFO reactor. Ever since firing up the reactor all of my softies have been very unhappy and in most cases will not open/polyp up. All other corals are continuing to grow and a great speed.
Are GFO reactors not a good idea on a softie tank? Do soft corals require some level of phosphates to flourish?
I am currently running a 67g 36x24x18 aquarium. It has a 400w 20k halide, octopus dnw200 skimmer, over 180lbs of live rock in the display and fuge. Salinity is 1.024-1.026, Nitrate-Nitrite-Amonia-Phosphates are all at 0.
