I recently checked my phosphate with the Hanna ulr checker and found out my phosphate was 0.01. I brought it up to about .05 in just under a week but my birdsnest coral is browned out now. 0.05 I don't think is high for phosphate and funny enough, my other sps like montis are much more colourful now with the increased levels. Do you think the browning out is because of the relatively quick increase? Lighting is radion xr15 G4 running ab+ at 70 percent over a reefer 170.
