Okay, so my reef has been all dandy until now. And I cant figure out what it is.
So recently my SPS have been browning out, my LPS have been receding skin and I dont know what was causing it.
First I checked my CA and ALK. CA 484 and ALK is at 9.016. So I figured it couldn't be that. Next I checked my salinity, 1.025. So I felt like it wasn't that. I never really have checked my phosphates because I've always kept my water pretty clean. I change about 25 gallons every 2 weeks and I have a 200 gallon tank. So I went out yesterday and bought a phosphate checker and its reading at 0.01. So I have no clue what it is??? My T5 light bulbs are about 3 months old so I doubt it could be them.
But again, if you can think of anything please let me know, Thanks!
