Hi reefers,
I’ve been keeping my eyes on my reef’s nutrients for couple of months. Everything goes to a very simple question: Do I need to feed corals if I have stable phosphate (0.04-0.05) and nitrate (15-20 ppm)?
In other words, does 0.05 phosphate + 15 ppm nitrate means the water nutrients are enough to support SPS growing without throwing in any other organic stuffs like reef roids?
I only feed fish right now so nutrients can be under control.
Any idea helps. Thanks.
Parameters:
Alk 8.2-8.4
Cal 420
Mg 1350
Phosphate: 0.05
Nitrate 15-20ppm
Par:500-600
