Getting mixed responses from my SPS

Nitrate is at 0. I need to up that slightly?

I have a light meter. I'd need help measuring accurately - so I can't quite provide that at the moment

@saltyfilmfolks can Help you with that light meter.
Would love to see a Lux or Par readying where these acro's are.

Btw, how often do you clean your glass?

Ammonia and Nitrite is also 0

Well that's a good thing :rolleyes:

Now that's NOT a good thing.
Yes you need to up that, more food for the fishies.
Or you can dose Nitrate, it's easy.

I clean my glass every other day- it has dusty like algae on it.

I am planning on adding another fish, possibly foxface, not sure yet. feeding more I can do in the mean time

would it help the one that's whiting out?

Possible as 0.0 No3 will only starve your corals.
You will never be at 0.0 as you still get some algae on your glass but............ ever wondered that it could be also a film layer of bacteria?
Yes feeding more add to the nutrients but keep a close eye on your Po4.
If that sits at 0.04 give and take you need to dose straight No3.
