crap! p04 @ 0! what to do!

[bobssecrtsn]

Hey guys, so i know this should be a good thing but i believe im starving my SPS...


I'm testing p04 with Hanna checker and it reads 0.00 for 2 days now and today was the first day im feeding ( spot feeding Lps and leave some suspended in the water culumn for my Sps. )


i WAS having algae issues thats why i was dropping p04 slowly for 3-4 weeks and the algae is going away at a fast pace.


should i feed everyday to keep color on my colors? i might be feeding the algae right?....


you should know my tank info,
60g 6bulb t5 ATI bulbs, i currently have a fuge filled with Cheato(doubled in size when i got it) i was running it 24/7 before and now i have it on reverse schedule, i have GFO w/ TLF Reactor, and im dosing Vodka, im at .3ml im on my 7th day


Also this is my Theory, Cut my Vodka dose in half (.15ml) Feed daily until i see my p04 at .02? and if i see it climbing ill be upping the dose .1 per week till i see a decrease then keep that pace. i know im early in the stages of Vodka dosing but i dont want to stop Dosing i feel that something might go wrong. give me some input guys!

What leads you to believe you're starving your SPS and what are you using to test po4?

unless your coral colors are paling I wouldn't freak out. But for now maybe reduce your vodka or cut back on GFO,
or add some more food.

Pick one, give it a few weeks and see what happens. work from there and take your time.
