Hey guys just checked my phosphates they used to be at 0 with a Hanna checker now they are reading .11 is this too high for sps and if so what do you recommend to lower it. I think they went up because I got two anthias and I feed them half a cube of food a day.

That is starting to get a little high. You can run GFO in a reactor to bring it down, just do add the gfo slowly until you get your desired number.

What do you guys think about vodka dosing

Dont start messing with carbon dosing. It will work but has side effects. GFO and carbon in a reactor are proven methods to clear clean water, stick with it.

Thanks guys any gfo brand that you guys have been successful with what about reactor

There are many many options out there. Here is a setup that is widely used and affordable.

If you don't want to run carbon you can take it offline or just run a single stage reactor. Sometimes people sell this setup on here for cheap as well.

Yea peppermint shrimp will eat any and every kind of anemone. Lost a sunburst nem to those lil a holes.

wowdude11 · Dec 14, 2015

They are out now and about 2 hours after I took them out my nem is happy again

now to get to my second issue I can't keep my nitrate down do 15 gallon water changes every 2 weeks and feed once a day because of the anthias. I am using the red sea nitrate phosphate remover but still nothing any suggestion
