After experiencing excessively high nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) levels in my aquarium, I decided to implement auto water changes as a solution. Since then, the NO3 levels have stabilized at around 4.9 ppm, and the PO4 levels have decreased to 0.01 ppm, albeit slightly lower than desired. However, a new challenge has emerged as my tank's glass and sand appear to be getting dirty and cloudy much faster than before, typically within two days. Despite this, my corals are thriving, exhibiting a newfound vibrancy, and the coralline algae growth is flourishing, I've adjusted the calcium and magnesium levels in the new saltwater bin, so I won’t have to dose those two the salt I use is Reef Crystals. Overall, despite the minor setbacks, the tank is running exceptionally well, with the inhabitants displaying remarkable health and vitality.

I'm concerned about the rapid drop in my nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) levels over just five days, as last week Wednesday, my NO3 was at 19.5 ppm and my PO4 was at 0.06 ppm, but now they have decreased significantly.
