Phosphate should be in the range of 0.05, calcium low and no alkalinity reading.some of corals not doing well my stats are phosphate 2.0ppm ammonia .0, nitrate 5.0 ppm , calcium 360 ppm
magnesium 1580. What can I do ?
How old is the tank?. What are you using as your water source? What's your alk? What tyoe if coral?some of corals not doing well my stats are phosphate 2.0ppm ammonia .0, nitrate 5.0 ppm , calcium 360 ppm

water source is town water running threw dechlorinating and water softner . salnity 1.06 and use instant ocean salt. tank is about 2 years . but just statred with corals about 7 months to 1 year. Had fish about 2 years etcHow old is the tank?. What are you using as your water source? What's your alk? What tyoe if coral?
Salinity a misprint? Should be 1.026. Hard to give any advice when not using RODI as you have no idea what's in your water.water source is town water running threw dechlorinating and water softner . salnity 1.06 and use instant ocean salt.

Agree. You really need an icp test of city water if you are using it. It's best to use rodiwater source is town water running threw dechlorinating and water softner . salnity 1.06 and use instant ocean salt. tank is about 2 years . but just statred with corals about 7 months to 1 year.

pictures?
checked phosphate from my tap water showing 1.0ppmwater source is town water running threw dechlorinating and water softner . salnity 1.06 and use instant ocean salt. tank is about 2 years . but just statred with corals about 7 months to 1 year. Had fish about 2 years etc
just have frags now not much to seepictures?
wow, that phosphate is awfully high.some of corals not doing well my stats are phosphate 2.0ppm ammonia .0, nitrate 5.0 ppm , calcium 360 ppm

The photos aren't to show off how awesome your tank looks. Photos help to diagnose what all might be going on. They'll also help repliers know what corals you have (though listing their names would also help, in addition to photos).just have frags now not much to see
checked water directly from my water source and phosphate are showing 0.25ppm, so I guess I need a reverse osmosis water filteration also, do you agreeLots of could be issues based on the above. Start with (absolute) 0ppm water running through RO/DI. This will at least help you understand where the phosphates are coming from and if they are all coming from source water which they most likely are.
Why would it not be safe to drink?If the phos out of the tap is really 0.25 then yes you need an ro unit. I do not believe that is safe to drink either.
I was thinking it was a lot lower (below 1) than it actually is. 40ppm considered safe for drinking water by epa. A recent drinking water test from a well had 1ppm and the test indication was in the yellow (caution zone) 0.25-1. A little more research just now shows that is actually low...sorry for the confusion I may have caused. Really gotta look into people wanting to sell you something.Why would it not be safe to drink?
