Are there any foods that are balanced or even low in nitrates and high in phosphates?
My phosphates have been zero for months but my nitrates keep going up and up. They're slowly gone from 10 up to 38 over the past few months. I'm currently feeding frozen mysis once a day.
I'm going to cut my feeding down from Monday and start dosing phosphates but if I could balance things out with different feeding that would be a better option for me personally. I've tried reef roids every few days but that's not changed anything yet.
Some of my acros have slowly stripped their flesh and my Montis and other acros have gone very pale (alk,calc and mag are fine), do you think it's likely the low phosphate causing this or the high nitrates? Or maybe something else ? (I do plan to do an icp)
Thanks
