Phosphate resin.... everywhere (1 Viewer)

[cstewart79]

I noticed a lot of my sps looking bad last week. I worked a ton and had no time to spend on the tank. Today I started doing my maintenance and I noticed no resin in my phosphate reactor. All of the resin somehow moved into the sump an dispersed itself across the tank. I will suck up what I found in the sump but all in all, I just cant find it all. Any ideas? Any advice?

The resin actually got into the tank, I am sure it release phosphates but its the resin itself that has me concerned
