    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Yours looks like it could be Dino’s. What I did to best that was 3 day blackouts and leave the tank as dirty as possible to outcompete the Dino’s. Took me about 2 months to beat

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I’m not home right now when I get home I will check my phosphates. If my phosphates are still in the .12 area do I still need to dose phosphates. I am aiming for .03/.04. I also think my phosphates readings could be false since I have an algae issue I am dealing with that could be consuming my...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I don’t wanna keep dumping different chemicals in to take care of the issue I’m just gonna go slow and continue My carbon dosing. I went against my better judgment and dosed fluconazole and I don’t know if that had any effect on my tank but it didn’t kill the Lyngba. So now I’m just going to...

    Leopard wrasse

    That stinks. Just do what I did if your close to the ocean. Drive to a nearby jetty and grab clumps of sea lettuce off of the rocks. Within those clumps you will have thousands of pods.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I am also now carbon dosing since my nitrates are off the charts high and my phosphates are elevated. Not sure if that has anything to do with this Lyngba.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ugh. I hate it! Same as you I have tried several things but it’s still there. Nobody touches it. The only luck I had so far was removing the one rock and giving it a peroxide bath, but I refuse to tear the tank down to clean every rock. I hear once it starts dying the CUC will devour it. I...

    WTT Lunar wrasse for a different Wrasse

    Bump, anybody? He’s a nice looking wrasse. I can’t keep him in my 40 but I couldn’t let my buddy euthanize him because he didn’t want him.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    That’s what I thought I checked it two times and I cleaned out the glass vials with RODI water thinking maybe some was left over but I still got the same 80+ nitrate ppm result

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Only major thing I did was remove one rock and spray it with peroxide last weekend, but I gave it a RODI bath Other than that nothing since I was in Florida for a 1.5 weeks. I used to dose nitrates also which I also stopped doing a few weeks ago.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ok did some reading and it does seem pretty simple. So you say dose Vodka and the vinegar together. Why both just out of curiosity.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I have a Skimz Sp207. It is def oversized for my tank. Will research carbon dosing. Not sure what’s involved with that.I’m so confused right now since I was dosing nitrates for a while because I couldn’t keep them in my tank. Now I’m no longer dosing and the nitrates are super high. I hope I...
