my dkh is high due to using RB salt which is no suprise, has always been like that ever since i started using it. and lately i was wondering why my coraline algae was going so good which is now explained by the CA result. All and all i am starting to agree with the seasonal thing, i am still going to keep my eyes open and see how everything works out.
As for phosphate media, i refuse to run it. I ran it twice and both times my corals just looked like crap. really its just the slimmer that i am worried about, i think the mille was damaged when i moved it cause i accidently went in front of a powerhead...whoops lol.
I told myself if i loss all my sps i am going to a softy/lps tank with a few sps cause like everyone think tank worries me sometimes

Your parameters look good; however, you should probably bump your specific gravity up .002 -.003 to 1.025 to 1.026.
- Watch your temp swings (common this time of year, especially at night)
- Watch for low PH at night
- Water change........
- Make sure your Top Off and make up water is "0" TDS, higher phosphates this time of year could be due to the water supply chemistry changing due to spring run-off etc.... Just a thought.
- Test your Potassium level (should be fine with RB salt) does not hurt to check.
