Yeah, tested again today. NO3 5 ppm PO4 0.00 Alk 8.5 I had dosed .04 PO4, but I guess it was all consumed. I've never had 0 PO4, so I'm dosing a bit more tonight with standard NO3 amount of 1.5-2 ppm. CC continues to look pretty bad.

NO3 5 ppm PO4 .02 Ca 465 Alk 8.6 Last time I measured Alk a few days ago it was 8.5 PO4 was .01 a few days ago and then I started dosing PO4. It was ranging from .02-.05 before. It's the only thing that's been fluctuating a bit. I dosed .03 PO4 last night after I measured it at .03 up from .02...

Thanks. I've moved it to a higher flow area.

For the last week plus I've been working to get my nitrates and phosphates up with dosing. Got numbers up for NO3 to 5ppm and phosphate is around .03 right now. During this process looks like I have a dino bloom and most of the corals look fine, the zoas actually probably look better. But...

OK, so I decided to jump into dosing nitrates and possibly phosphates. I was starting to be stumped by no coralline growing. My nitrates were undetectable, so I let skimmer overflow and started dosing sodium nitrate at 2ppm for the last 4 days. Slowly the nitrate level is now 2ppm. Nitrate 2ppm...

Wow. Want.

You can definitely acclimate them. I needed a couple for my first QT to detect disease. I was just going to buy some at Bay Bridge b/c they had some. They asked me what I needed it for. I told them for saltwater QT. They told me they had a batch already acclimated to saltwater, so I just...

adding to chain. got one from @Coral reefer

there are posts on humblefish's site about doing hydrogen peroxide dip. you can also buy from vendors like bay bridge aquarium who go through thorough QT before they sell fish. other vendors like that are listed on humblefish site also.

@Coral reefer I could actually swing by @Solitaryensis and pick it up when I head your way. it would be on my way.
