So for a little while I’ve been “struggling” to get my nitrates down under 20.. currently (27.5) by Hannah …
I used to use rowa to use keep my p04 low (0.03-0.05) but currently switched it off for a week as I’ve set up a refugium running Chaeto running opposite my light schedule
And manage n03 with just water changes
So today I’ve tested my tank -
P04 -0.15
No3 27.5 ppm
But here is what I don’t understand my tank and coral has never looked so good !! Littrely seeing new growth daily and everything sps/lps is looking big and bright -and full polyp extension.
Should I still chase them 0.03 and between 5-10 numbers or just leave it ?? And see what happens … I don’t want anything to die ?
Opinions please
Current tank 400L water box 110.4
Alk 8.1
Cal 430-440
Nitrate 27.5
P04 0.15
