Pipe Organ Starting to pop out

[reroka]

So the last 5 days my pipe organ coral has not come out at all. Well today it has started to come out. I was able to lower my dKH from a 16 to 10 in a 5 days span. and now the pipe organ seems to be a little more happy. See pic/

Did you actually test the phosphates and nitrates? If so, what did you use? Because if your nitrates are at 0 this coral won’t be too happy, also if your phosphates are at 5 that could cause issues and drive down your nitrates.

I did test it, I used the api testers, I am waiting on my new testers to come from Hanna.

I tested it with api and its came out yellow so tbh it's 5 ppm atm.

O ised 0-5 ppm because it seem the api test are not the best. I know that they are not at 0 ppm but are not higher than 5 ppm atm
