I realize that phosphates affect your live rock, but my question is will the phosphates affect or kill my bristle worms in the rock and tank? And how harmful is it to fish and starfish. Thanks for your time.
Well I thought that phosphate was effecting my live rock because my rock is fading to white. My levels are ph-8.3, ammonia-0, nitrite-0, nitrate-5, salinity -1.025, calcium-480, alkalinity-4. I don't know what my phosphate level is(don't have a test kit). Any ideas on what may be causing this to happen.

Have you had any ammonia in the perameters lately? Check to see if the white can be fanned or blown off. It may just be detritus or sand settling. If not it is probably as I stated earlier some coralline die back.
