Hi
I really need your help, I have been fighting with it for a long time with no success. I thought things will improve since I started dosing Oceamo Regulator O and A to increase the trace elements etc. Few things improved but still a lot in red.
The issues started when I used to dose Aquaforest 1,2 and 3, something went wrong, maybe got a bad batch, and I started loosing my SPS and LPS. Finally did ICP and everything was in red.
Before I did ICP I blamed PO4 and NO3, but doesn’t matter what I tried or how much I managed to get it down, it was up to the previous level 2-3 days after.
I feed 3-4 times a day, 3x flakes small portions, in the evening Mysis RS and I try to give Nori every day.
Filtration, skimmer, nice size refugium with macro algae, filter roller - half of the water goes through filter roller. UV 24/7 on slow flow, from time to time I run Ozone. I don’t do water changes.
Tank looks clean on the photos etc, but some of the softies are struggling, they are stressed, not opening fully, keeps shedding etc.
I started dosing from Monday to reduce NO3 and PO4:
What else could I do to improve the situation? Start water changes? What else would you suggest?
I attach the photos of the tank and ICP from today. Please help.
