Congratulations for the ROFTM, the tank is beatiful and certain the next one will be too and ROFTM!!

Just one question, when you said in the ROFTM thread:

"When nitrate disappears at all I use amino acids to supplement it. My strategy is that the main parameter in the tank is phosphate and I adjust all other parameters according to phosphate level."

Can you elaborate a bit more why you said that?
How you perform when PO4 swings up ou down?
Thank you and good luck for the next project!
Hello. Thank you. Orientation to phosphate is, if phosphate grows in the system, then I increase the dosing of trace elements and can add light intensity. When the phosphate rises, then I then measure the nitrate and if the nitrate is zero, then I use amino acids for my peace of mind that the nitrogen forms go to the corals. At this time, I have a phosphate of 0.23 and I have greatly increased the supply of trace elements and dosing amino acids. Corals have become much more beautiful. I just want to say that this is not a call to action, but just my experience.

...you don't try to lower the phosphate? being in 0.2 of phosphate dont't bored you?
Or just balanced the rest of parameters and light?

Everything you say is correct. I also added all the other instruments so that the orchestra could keep up with the violin. The acropores look amazing and have not slowed down at all. These are my little experiments at the finish line. I break the reef in a week and move.
