Hey Mark, Looks like you've painted the back of the tank, Hey where's my Clam LOL Looking great Buddy
Update at taking GFO and Biopellets off line. I took GFO offline just over 2 months ago. Biopellets, I have not added any in months. I have just been letting the tank use up what is in there and eat through them slowly. There is less then a 1/4 cup left in my reactor.
Nitrates - non detectable
Phosphates - 1.45ppm
Holy fuck. Just started up the TLF150 with 1 cup of GFO to bring it down slowly as to not shock anything. Not sure where to go from here. I obviously need GFO, however the tank seems to be doing OK on its own without pellets. 1/4 cup obviously is not doing much of anything in +/-150gal TWV. I think I have my skimmer to thank as well as my water change table making 15gal water changes so easy now. I am actually seeing tons of growth in my corals. Some that seemed to have died off have started coming back.

I think you should post another updated FTS . ....Try downloading AZ Camera on your S5 (gives your cell SLR capabilities like custom white balance), setting WB to max I find that it works quite well...
...I've never tested for phosphates, I do run a bit if GFO, but now you have me worried I should lol... Nothing else visually indicated that it was abnormally high?

Seeing that the normal PO4 level in the ocean is 0.07 ppm, I think I am a little high. It is not affecting my fish at all. I have a feeling I may have caught it in time before it started negatively affecting my non LPS corals. Now that the lights are out, I did notice some white spots on the underside of my sunset montis where before it was all a nice shade of red with vibrant green polyps. I only checked it as I used to and have not for a while. I fell drastically behind in testing and maintenance, but on top of it now. I have also been dosing 30ml each of Bionics, pH is around 8.35 on average. Testing the Big 3 tomorrow, but I have a feeling they are find.

I am not happy that phosphates are so high. I am happy that nitrates are staying down though.

That's nuts!
It really does go to show you that even some sensitive living things like corals can adapt to less than ideal conditions
Good thing you caught it in time

From 1.45ppm to >0.36ppm but less then <0.64ppm over night with just 1 cup of GFO.
Lesson learned over this...
When I started testing my water a long time ago, I had high phosphates and high nitrates. I attacked both with GFO and Biopellets to bring it down. I was running 2 cups of GFO and 2 cups of biopellets. Maybe attacking both at the same time was a bad idea. Just focusing on one at a time going forward.
