Coral woes.. Help a newbie.. You once were one!

Well, it does look like you are getting some growth on your rocks :-). Although the majority of it still appears pristine. I don't think you necessarily need to take your skimmer off line. Since your nutrient levels are reading zero across the board you could look into feeding your tank more. A pair of clowns and a Chromis is a very very light bio load for a 125g tank. Is your skimmer even pulling anything out?? LOL. Maybe start adding more fish or feed your corals more through other methods.

0 po4 in a few month old tank seems rather strange to me. what po4 test did you use? some are far from accurate at low range tests

I think it's salifert. All my tests are salifert or seachem. I'll have to check next time I go into the fish cave

When I first test the tank when it was initially set up I was getting some reading but now I am getting nothing...

And yes, my skimmer is hauling stuff out.. Not much though LOL
