i have started a 55 gallon tank project. Built my own stand, canopy, run the plumbing and working on sump and then refuge. I was given live sand from a person that was getting out of the hobby. I received 100 lbs. of dead rock that came from the ocean in the bahamas. ( I work at a port so all kinds of things come by). Now the tank has cycled and the only thing is phosphate 2.0 ppm.
I am afraid that it is coming from the rocks. I have added more water to the sump to dilute it and it is still 2.0 ppm. has not moved. The tank has been cycled for more then 3 weeks. I am starting to get coraline growing on the rocks. Will the phosphate stop leaking from the rock or do I need to get rid of it?
Thanks for all info.
