Bro, what are you doing? Leave the frigging tank alone. And forget about the Kole tang, they are difficult fish.

How much water change do you do?

 

[vio]

What you use to check PO4 , what test kit ?
Do you use any GFO ?
Use brine shrimps frozen , rinse in RO/DI on small container ( one quarter) check the PO4 after rinse for 15-20 min. Then you will see PO4 more then you need.

 

[jkidd155]

No Gfo use Hanna checker running triton method running cheato and a marine pure block using kessil h380 refuge light running 11pm to 11am

 

[jkidd155]

Only did one water change 20 gallons haven?t did anything else

Horrible advise here .

Isn?t this tank a few weeks old?
Started with all dry rocks ?

You?re worried about the wrong things .

First and formost your rushing the entire process.
this system is too young should not have that many fish in it.
Tank should not even have corals in it .

You have to let the bacteria colonize .
Worried about phosphates it?s the least of you?re worries.

you can take the advise but you don?t have too...
