    You have some phosphates in there if you have red slime growing. Could have easily come from the new rock you put in. Or anything for that matter. I would invest in a two little fishes phosban reactor. one of my best purchases.GHO is king at removing Phosphates! Prolly cost you 65.00 if purchased on Ebay!

    What type of GFO? I have a dual BRS media reactor but am only using 1 side for carbon. Could I use the other side for gfo?

    for what its worth, i recently added some fresh carbon and the day after one of my acro colonies starting bleaching. now im not sure if this is directly correlated to the fresh carbon OR if the coral suffered from the "tumbling" and stress of fish, see a large snail knocked the rock over and broke several tips which i then epoxed close to the mother colony making sure not to hinder her.

    the tissue necrosis is from the base up and its slow, it seems to slowly be stabilising but i lost a lot of tissue. parameters are what they have always been. i dose a carbon source but im thinking maybe the new carbon leached some po4 out?
