*can't figure out how to change title that should say dosing red sea nitrate remover* I started dosing red sea nitrate remover and phosphate remove to bring down nitrates and it did a grand job of removing them, in fact too good a job I started on half the lowest dose recommended to be safe and it brought them both to zero? Is this safe or should I be trying to raise them a little. I'm only asking cause a new bubble coral I've bought has its tentacles out constant as if it's staving. I do feed it brine shrimp and mysis once a week so is it hungry for nitrates as well? Tia

What is your Po4 and No3 sitting at?
And what test kits you using?

About the title maybe a #mod or #reefsquad team member can correct that for you.

As @Diesel requested, knowing you nutrients numbers will be a great help. If I may suggest do some focus feed with a pipette to deliver the food directly to the coral

Nitrates and phosphate is undetectable using red sea test kits, could you recommend any more I can double check the reading with? I do target feed most coral but it's my sps I was worried about really
