New to the forum. I’ve been using zeovit for over 2 years. I ran a uv sterilizer for about 2 years , shut it off 2 months ago. Ran a small Refug with sand, rock and chaeto. Removed the sand 2 months ago. I follow the dosing to a T. Skimz reactor for zeovit.
Tank is kept very clean. 144 gal , reef octo 150skimmer temp constant 78. I use a clarisea 5000 roller mat (love). Also dosing coral snow, and iodide. Auto water change, 1 gal. Per day. Mixed reef. Ca- 450, Alk-11:0, Mag 1320, salinity 35, live rock- a lot! Start 1ml / day. Bac every 3 days 8 drops. Food 11 drops 3 times a week. Snow every day 6ml.
How am I doing so far?
PH 7.8-7.9
9 hour light cycle/ alternating with fudge light. Tunz cheap fudge led water proof light. Seems to work fine. Harvest 1 handful of chaeto per week.
Nitrate 5-7
Nitrite 0.3-0.8
Phosphate- 2.0 UN ACCEPTABLE!!,
Using hanna testers for all but ca. Use sievert for Ca.
After 2 dosing of ultra life phosphate reducer, I get a nice big zero po4.
I wait a week or 2, and po4 is right back.
I’m lost......no clue what to do. The strangest thing is my glass stays clean, my sand, and rocks. No blooms?
I will say that the glass used to get brown blotches daily until killing the sand in the fudge, and U-v. Same with sand.
Fish and corals doing okay, blue max clams (small) not so good. 2 rose tip anemones show stress.
HELP PLEASE
