So I have high alk and 3 ppm nitrate and 0.05-0.08 phosphate. Would this be considered low nutrients or is this good?

What do you consider hi alkSo I have high alk and 3 ppm nitrate and 0.05-0.08 phosphate. Would this be considered low nutrients or is this good?
Would 11.5 - 12.5 be it?What do you consider hi alk
So I guess is 11.5 - 12.5 high?I think it is more of a preference unless nutrients are very low. I keep alk on the lower end of the scale with similar nutrient levels, but unless you see burnt tips on SPS corals, you should be fine with the higher levels.

If you have certain types of SPS, you may be rising burnt tips, possibly from skeletal growth faster than tissue can keep up.
I’d boost the nitrate to 7-10 ppm if alk is above about 9 dKH.there is only a fe
I’m assuming this is if I had a good amount of corals right now I only have a few fragsIf you have certain types of SPS, you may be rising burnt tips, possibly from skeletal growth faster than tissue can keep up.

im keeping sps successfully in my tank im running about 10.5-11 DKH and Po4 is at .08-.1 and No3 is at 16+If you have certain types of SPS, you may be rising burnt tips, possibly from skeletal growth faster than tissue can keep up.
