Ok so here is where my confusion stems ... I know phosphates will stunt coral growth , but dose this also include reproduction ? I currently am using straight tap water , can't afford a RO unit yet and everything I've read and have seen here tells me I should have phosphates in my water. Yet when I test for it either it dose not chance or I just can't notice a change in color so I don't know if I have phosphates , however I have a mushroom that's recently reproduced , my Zoa's are popin up new heads like 1-2 a week bow it seems , sun coral is growing new heads an I THINK my branching hammer is growing a new stalk.
So given that my corals are reproducing at this rate is this a sign of little or no phosphates ?
Also not sure if coraline algae is affected by phosphates , but I have one purple tank ^_^
