I wonder if there are good and bad phosphates. I believe you feed your corals various additives and food. So maybe the phosphates that come from that are not so bad?? In my case, the phosphates came from another tank (when I combined 2 tanks into 1 sump) that had live rock and sand with high phosphates.

![]() I really don't know where the phosphates are coming from. Probably from the frozen food. I give PE mysis to my fish and corals.
I don't think there is 2 types of phosphates though ![]()

![]() The funny thing is, I am currently using GFO to lower my phosphates and it is now at .15 instead of .25 and some of my corals are turning brown. This is wierd. They had better colors when my phosphates were higher or maybe this is just a coincidence and has another cause. Not all of them are turning brown but some are going lighter but more brown.

Currently my P04 is running between .08 and .13. Was down to zero earlier in the year, and trying to get it back down there again. SPS does not seem to be affected, though. But I did get some algae.
