[shoelaceike]

Lol....I'm trying

@twilliard is the master of getting rid of bad stuff in a tank. Great advice! Always learning something. I have a dino problem so I think I see them everywhere. Even in my nightmares, they are there haunting me.

 

[twilliard]

Thank you for the kind words.
I have been studying stuff for a long time.

What are you doing to try to get rid of it, as @twilliard said your Po4 is high. Most of the time it is over feeding. I started running rawaphos in a small reactor and all is well

 

[twilliard]

Po4 is the growing element as no3 makes it green

Just feeding less and more wc....

When you go that route watch your no3 levels.

 

[shoelaceike]

When you go that route watch your no3 levels.

Why would they go up?

 

[jsker]

Your looking for a balence, depending on what you have in your system that need no3. The other question I would have is what are you feeding, and how old is your system?

I have a mixed reef. I like some nutrient's but not too much.... The actually set up is about 1 month old but the liverock is a few years old.....
