![]() I haveI been having water quality issues for awhile and I have finally got an R/O water system now. I have an 86 gallon tank with a hammer coral, frogspawn and a candy cane coral. They have not been doing well and I now have a reading of 1.0 for phosphates.
Other parameters are: PH-8.1 KH-8 Ca-390 Mg-1300 NH4, Nitrite and Nitrates all 0 I just did a 23 gallon water change a few days ago and plan to do another 15 gallons on Tues. or should I do another big one again. I strain all my frozen food to reduce phophates. I am sure that this is from the water I was using as my cartridge filter did not seem to be doing the trick lately because our water is so bad here. In the short term I was wondering if any one has used the phosphate removers to get my number down and how safe they are or is there a better way of getting the numbers down so I don't lose my corals.
