I have been doing very well overall lately. Sps wise I have montipora stellata and plating. Also a stylophora. All doing well. Just got a new acro frag. Did my weekly checks today. Nitrate 1-2ppm. Pho’s .03? Or a tad less so water is very very clean. My question is. Should I try and raise the numbers just a tad. Since this frag has been here since Thursday it’s high up close to my prime 16hd running saxby and I have a power head giving it a lot of flow. Only.a few times has a few polyps come out. Right beside it. Montipora cap. Out abd looking amazing

I wouldn't raise the nutrients unless you show zeros.
 
1-2ppm no3 and .03ppm po4 are perfect numbers

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
