Howdy everyone. I’ve been running my 120 SPS dominant tank now for about 7-8 months. I’ve never had quick growth and phenomenal color like I’ve had in this tank. I’ve noticed a slow in growth along with Coraline Algae stopping completely and slowly turning brown (before I cleaned it off my glass).
Currently running the Triton Method with a Chaeto Reactor and Skimmer for filtration.
Dosing about 16ml a day of all 4 with stable parameters in regards to Alk/Mag/Calcium.
I didn’t realize my Chaeto Reactor Pump was unplugged for 1-1.5 months. I fed heavy-ish in regards to dosing Polyp Booster with Reef Roids twice a week.
Tested my Phosphates and they came in at a whopping 1.48ppm. Went down to 1.27 after my Reactor was back online, then to 1.59, now they’re at 1.2 flat. My nitrates were 2-5ppm and ever since the Reactor has been back on, has been sitting around 0-1.
Debating on adding Stump Remover to help balance out my Phosphates. I added a GFO Reactor with small amount on a very low tumble at the top, which brought my PO4 down to 1.2.
My SPS have slightly paled due to the nitrate reduction unfortunately.
Looking for advice on if I should dose Stump Remover to help balance out Phosphates and bring color and growth back to my SPS.
Tests done with: Hanna Checker and Red Sea to confirm, all with same results as other.
I have 6 fish which include two tangs, so a very low bio load.
