So I made a post almost 2 weeks ago trying to determine if I had Dinos in my Waterbox 220.6. Because of the 0 phosphates and nitrates, I proceeded like I did. I turned off my skimmer, turned of my t5s and just let my xr15s run, ordered Brightwell Neonitro and Neophos to get those levels up, and haven't done water changes.
I finally got my microscope off of amazon which confirmed no Dinos and is just the uglies/diatoms. So now wondering if the 0 nitrates and phosphates is just a false zero reading because of the uglies. This leads me now to a few questions:
1. Should I turn my skimmer back on? (I do currently have two small clowns, purple filefish, tricolor wrasse, tomini tang, and powder brown tang)
2. Should I dose the Neonitro and Neophos or just let my tank be because the uglies might be giving me the double zero reading?
3. Should I restart water changes?
