update:

tank doing well.. coral seems to be colored up and tank stable.. my only problem is phosphates.. i run biopellets in a brs reactor as well as po4x4 in another reactor and my po4 is abt .50!!!

i need help and sugjestions on how to get it down, i did a 30g water change 2 weeks ago and it didnt change.. im setting up to do another 30g in 2 days..

i tested my water out of the ro/di unit and its zero
i tested on the API test kit. i know thats not the best but all i got..

the funny thing is that i have no algea problems water is chrystal clear, im having good coral growth. i just dont get it..

please help.. heres some recent pics of the tank..

If all the animals are doing great, and you have no algae, already running GFO & Bio pellets, and doing water changes IMHO you are already doing everything you can to reduce them. Now you need a little patience, and maybe step up the w/c to weekly versus biweekly.
I am thinking the P04 is coming from your lr which means it is a matter of time for it to ALL to be removed. Practice a little patience my dear.:wink1:

Mike, your tank looks great!!!!!! BTW, why don't you invest in the little Hanna Checker? Inexpensive, easy to store, and easy to use.;)
