I had a buddy of mine tell me, that when spring time comes that he sees a spike in his phospahtes.

I have been going through the same thing the past few weeks! Really sucks.

My ALK was low but even after raising it and everything looked ok, I have noticed today some more STN.

Yup I'm lossing quite a bit myself.

Only time I have noticed Phosphates too is this spring.
Weird

Its undoubtably seasonal. I went back through my excel tracking sheet, and every year around this time something like this happens to me as well.

This year it was one colony, and half a colony.

OK.... so let's assume for a moment that this is something seasonal. What is the cause? Is it phosphates? Something else in our supply water? Temperature?
