Duncan’s open but they look small?

[Andreas' Reef]

Hey my Duncan’s are open but they look really small. They looked bigger a few days ago. Nothing has changed with the params. I switched up the flow a little Bit but that shouldn’t make it look like this for a few days right?

params:

temp: 77 f

phos: 0.01

n03: 5 ppm

calcium: 450 ppm

magnesium: 4000 ppm

alk: 10 dkh

Mag can't be 4000 supposed to be 1400?

Personally I think your phos is really low and mag is extremely high and I would lower your alk but 10 is okay. What else do you have in the tank? Corals? Fish? Lps like 0.05 phos and mag levels around 1400-1600 max

my mag is 1400 it was a typo. How do I raise phos a bit?

products like Tropic Marin N&P work wonders to get those levels up but be sure to measure your total tank vol per dosage. Its like 1ml per 26 gals. I used 4 mils daily until I got my levels to where they need to be.
