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 345d

10% water change every other day for a week straight

@Bertsgirl35 345d

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

@smeffkilla223 345d

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

So should I just keep an eye on it if .18 isn’t too bad

Yeah my torches won’t open all the way so I thought it was my phosphate

.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 341d

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