Can I add new corals with high phosphate levels ?

Hi all,

I’m currently in the process of being my phosphate levels down to the recommend levels.

I’ve managed to get them down to 1 over the last few weeks from almost 3.

Can I still add new corals whilst I’m in the process lowing these levels or am I best to wait?

My existing corals have all been growing fine, my candy canes have rapidly grown over the last month, it just seems to be effecting my scrambled egg zoa as it’s turned it brown around the edges and my torch’s encircles have turned black.

Thanks all

Are those measurements in ppm? If so that seems really high, possible testing error?

How are you testing phosphates?
