Are you noticing any positive responses to your corals?

Colors yes because I was able to keep nitrate 8-12 but I started Moonshiners a few weeks later that's when all the Acros that was just sitting there doing nothing started encrusting. Ammonium on a doser which is currently off tank holding nitrate without it now. I only turn it on a few day's if nitrate drops below 5. Few day's later I'm usually back around 10-12 the time it did drop then back off again..as long as the tank holding on it's on I keep it off ..
