I dont like the dip sticks for testing alk &ph I can never tell results colors are to close.I need better test kits,lights are running @ 50% 1 ballast is down being repaired.po4 is ussually high.Added micro alage to try and control levels of po4.getting red alage on crushed coral &a rusty looking alage on live sand.feather duster looks like the tips are curling up.things in general just look off.the other day when I tested I had 0 ammonia 0 nitrite slight nitrate calcium around 400 high po4 ph 8.3 ish alk looked safe but who the heck can read those stupid dip sticks?.and even w/ lights @ 50 % its almost double what was on a week ago.I just bought the new lights.I got all kinds of $$$ wrapped up in this tank & i'm just not happy w/ it.
