There is nothing ridiculously out of wack with your water parameters, so I would agree that a "watch and wait" approach is appropriate. If everything else in the tank is looking happy and healthy, I too would say wait it out.

Your parameters are perfect, assuming whatever kits you're using are right. I've had similar issues with my GSP before. i think one time it was nearly 2 weeks, never 3 though. Try increasing ur po4 to 0.05, also change the place of the gsp. I recently changed mine and it is way happier now.

In reef keeping, "perfect" is a relative term. Perfect depends on what you are keeping in your tank.

True, but for a REEF tank wouldn't you say that his parameters are excellent and within the recommended ranges?

Yes, I would call them "text book".

This is my last post here. The GSP is gone.
You need this type of water mix to get rid of it, for those you do not like GSP

Sorry. Did it become brittle and break apart? Or simply still not open? If it’s just not open, I had one close for months, maybe even a year?

It became brittle and broke apart

You had really high amounts of arsenic in your water. Any idea where that came from?

It became brittle and broke apart

 

[Leelalie]

I suspect it is the RO water i bought. I have put Zeolite in my tank to absorb it

 

[ZaneTer]

Arsenic isn’t able to pass a RO membrane. Perhaps look into buying your own RODI unit?

 

[Leelalie]

other than that i have no idea how it came in to the system. A RODI is an option. I am looking into it.
