    Some believe that softies will thrive in higher phosphate levels.

    I always wondered if GSP could thrive in freshwater.... grows so darn fast and doesn't care what your params are really.

    GSP is the new Kevlar, its bullet proof. I had some shipped to me in MAYBE 1/4 ounce of water (the coral wasnt even fully submerged), in weather that never got above 45*, and spent two days in transit.........it fully recovered in 2 days.

    Wow. What do you think the cause is? I would be all over that. I start freaking out when I hit 0.5ppm. Corals will not like that number. You can get a phosphate reactor for about $50. They are not that expensive. Also, there is a product out there called Phosphat-E. A little expensive, but it is a great binder. It is only patchwork though. You gotta find what is causing that and fix it dude.;D:-X:p
