Hello, i have a mixed reef tank, 50% soft coral, 50% SPS and one LPS. SPS are doing good regarding the high phosphate level ~0.8 ppm, i think dry rock leach some phosphate because i only feed a little the fish with frozen food only and my RODI is phosphate free. the hammer LPS is thriving, majority of soft coral are okay but some was better when nitrate was higher.
My nitrate level is 1.0 ppm, due to the already high phosphate level, i can't feed the fish more, i was thinking about dosing urea to only increase nitrate, is that a good idea ? how high should i go ? thx
SPS : Montipora digitata, stylophora stellata, Pocillopora damicornis
LPS : Hammer coral
Soft : lobophytum sp, pipe organ coral, sinularia dura, GPS, kenya tree, purple gorgonian, rhodactis indo...
