Phosphate excess ?

[titi59]

Good evening, I noticed that some of my azoox hard to open for some time, and my po4 are ... 1.44 or close, so I was wondering if adding an anti resin po4 be useful? No danger for my non symbiotic? Thank you all!

The orange Scleronephthya never opened but is still swollen and react by changing shape when feeding:


My Stereonephthya (?) Which does not open whereas before it was magnificent!


The Scleronephthya pink that opened before also and now is like a molting:


The Dendronephthya mucronata which has never opened more than that:


Finally the Chironepthya that no longer expands some white polyps:

I'm not aware of any resins I'd recommend for binding phosphate itself, but perhaps you did not literally mean a resin?

What brand were you thinking of?

There are many brands of suitable phosphate binder, and the two main types are GFO and aluminum oxide.

This has much more on phosphate and how to reduce it.

Thank you for the link !

I would try this:

That's a fine way to go. I slightly prefer GFO due to potential issues with released aluminum, but many people use Phosguard just fine.

Be sure to rinse it well first.
