Good Afternoon experts,
Went away on vacation the 15th through the 22nd and left the tank relatively untouched. I does vodka, alk and ca two part (equal doses daily) via a doser. What do the experts conclude based on these test results. I did do tests multiple times to ensure accuracy. What...

Today I...
100% RO, red sea refractometer calibrated almost every change w/ 35ppt solution, my salinity did fluctuate a bit, but not more than .003, the only other thing I can think of is my temp moved a bit from a power outage but nothing dramatic. I did change the lighting, but this was after the issue.
yeah, so activated carbon wont reduce nitrate either?
yes, mostly zoas, shrooms, xenia, trumpets
after phos popped:
the trumpets struggled
all the xenia died
zoas closed up
shrooms took a hit but recovered.
this is what spawned my dosing conversations.
