Hi there,
my phosphates have been slowly creeping up and I’m starting to see some very short GHA in my tank.
I’ve got a chaeto fuge on a 12hr reverse cycle and it’s growing very well, I remove a handful a week.
When phosphate started creeping up from 0.02 to 0.05 I stopped all pellet food and only fed frozen cubes.
Phosphate now climbing from 0.05 to 0.09.
Started getting GHA in my refugium but I scraped and symphoned it out.
My nitrate is stable at 2ppm.
Can I run a small volume of phosphate remover to keep phosphates in check? Will it cause any detrimental effects to my chaeto?
feeding
I have 9 fish, I feed 3 cubes of frozen food a day (they get 2 mysis and I alternate mussel and brine on different days)and change filter sock every 3 days. I also feed 6mL a day of RedSea reef energy AB+
