Stellar picture. How about a full tank shot! You might have GHA but you don’t have a problem. I harvest mine by hand as nutrient export.

Is this reading 0.1ppm of Nitrate correct?

If your nitrate is 10.0 or bellow I’d say you’re doing pretty good.
However to low can be bad and starve coral.
0.1 nitrate is almost non existent. Feeding more could help and be a simple fix.
But…. Reading your tank and stability is most important. I try not to chase numbers anymore.
Unless you were asking about my nitrate?
But it was .8
And phos was .03 at the time of picture

If I ran nitrate that low, the fast growing seaweeds in my mixed garden would go sexual. If I measured nitrates, I doubt they would be < 20ppm. In fact, I dose ammonia in fishless growout tanks

interesting, I don’t the the knowledge in that area. Your tank looks good. I do want to get into some of the ornamental algae, and not just for looks, but also for utility.
