2 days i dose 140ml of alk for my tank which increases 1 dkh but still the alk is 6.2. [emoji51]

You probably need to go more effluent then, try 75-85 ml. It’s not enough.

Fenbendazole works well. There’s a thread on it, look it up.

Does caribsea arm media leach out some phosphates?? My po4 just went up like crazy its 0.29ppm!! i use hanna ulr phosphorus kit.
It was 0.9ppm 1 week ago.
But i also run rowaphos in tank and did a nice waterchange and sump cleaning on Saturday.
0.29ppm is too high for me.

Going on 2 weeks vacation. Worried about the tank how its going to survive on auto mode. Any tips or info on Dos ans don’ts before you go on leave? [emoji28]

Just don't add some piece of equipment, or make a major change right before you go. I see this all the time here, people add things and fail to test them, or watch them work for a while before trusting them to take care of things.
You could do a test - try leaving everything alone for 2 weeks as if you were not there. If everything works as expected, and you need no intervention, you'll be good to go.
On the other hand, if there is something you have to tinker with during the test, you need to shore that up before leaving.
Don't trust anything new to take care of your tank while on vacation - Recipe for disaster!
