Phosphates .03ppm - Should I still use Remover? Rowa/Phosban/Gfo?

Lol. The sponges are actually there because of silicates and bacteria.
Iran why we so often see them in new tanks. And then they fade. Like diatoms.

Yeah. I think they're on their exit. Hopefully

Personally, I would stop dosing amino's and coral feeding. Your corals look stressed, I presume from that algae bloom. All that stuff going into the tank is just fueling it. Stick to regular feeding for your fish, water changes, and maintaining the big 3 parameters for a few weeks.

Good advise. Didn't know the amino would fuel the algae as well.
Didn't see any negativity since using it, so that's wht I continued. Corals used to be a lot more stress, and many that died within days of entering the tank. Now rtn is gone, but stn still a little

Nothing wrong with PO4, dosing it myself. And I thought sponges were indicative of a healthy mature tank?


Up to 0.08ppm PO4 works for Jason. 33:00 min.

Thanks for the vid! Loving it so far. Really informative

Funny, just got to the sponge part in the video. Well guess what JF, I have those 1000s of sponges you're talking about xD
Usually they indicate a mature system, or one with extra nutrients is what I've heard.

I'm sure mine took off with the oyster feast, since now that I reduced feedings, I have a bit less (but still 100s-1000s)
