Feed less, feed different food (from pellet/sinking wafer to lighter frozen or flake food), or do more frequent or bigger water changes, hope this helps

@KingjamesTank 1y

10% water change every other day for a week straight

@Bertsgirl35 1y

I was told water changes don’t do anything to phosphate

@smeffkilla223 1y

This is correct, phosphates are seeping out of your rocks. Run phosguard, only thing that has been helping me and my phosphates are still high .18 isn’t too bad if you have a good amount of coral

.18 is just fine unless you’re combatting algae . I’ve been running my tank around .1-.2 for a while and the colors of the corals are improved

@Bertsgirl35 1y

Yeah my corals are fine not to bad algae just the normal new tank syndrome
