What nutrient is giving you the most trouble

My oldest biota mandarin does indeed eat some mysis if it falls into his face and the greedy copperband doesn't find it first

But the little baby has to be target fed pellets until she grows up

Ok
Not a game changer , but I haave 30 something acros and swinging po4 isn’t appreciated in terms of stability
Sure, less sensitive corals isn’t such an issue and if it’s one less thing to test for that’s a good thing
 
Phosphate

Nitrates are at like 2-5ppm

Phosphates are consistently about .1, and never lower than .05

I think I just have too many fish - rowaphos in a reactor and my chaeto barely keep up!
I don't see the problem?
0.05-0.1 is perfect.
 
PO4. no matter what i try, measuring food, changing food, getting auto feeder, no matter what i do, it swings. its either way too high or too low. never just sits around .03 like i want it to.
 
Nitrates over 150 for past year, 2 medium tangs, 2 large fox face, sailfin, 3 cardinals, 2 clowns, 1 goby. One large BTA 4 small BTA’s. Run roller mat, skimmer , UV light and refugium with macro . No water changes in a year. Ammo 0, nitrites 0 calcium 480, ph between 8.0- 8.2. Salinity 1.027 No algea anywhere. Trochus snails breed and eventually some fall or flip over and die.
