My question is about the relationship between ab+, nitrates and phosphates, and coral health.
Ive been using NeoPhos and NeoNitro daily to keep my nutrients above zero for months. It’s always been a fine line between having enough nutrients for corals and to avoid Cyano/Dinos, while not too much to avoid gha.
Lately I’ve been using Red Sea ab+ and have had great results with my coral growth and appearance. However, gha is coming back with a vengeance. I’ve been trying to keep phosphates above 0 and nitrates around 10 using NeoPhos and neonitro.
While using ab+, do I still need to dose nutrients to keep those numbers in range? Or is the AB+ feeding the corals enough, and my N&P dosing is just fueling algae?
Tank is 3 years old but 6 months in my care. I use Hanna for all tests.
