Hi everyone,
I'm using Hanna testers; only have LPS with two clownfish. I had been sticking to 3g WC every week but my Nitrates keep rising so I did a 4g WC today (tested before and after shown below). Had noticed everyone was somewhat unhappy and super perked up after WC today.
My torch is in the middle of splitting (gone from one to two heads but nothing yet on the skeleton).
Filtration wise I have: filter floss, 0.5tbsp of Reef Basis Captiv Phos Fe GFO, then 1.5tbsp of Seachem Matrix Carbon.
I change the floss daily.
Some questions that could really help me out:

Some questions that could really help me out:
- Debating if I need a bigger weekly WG (going to 4g which would probably be ~33%) or more frequent?
- I don't think I'm feeding alot, fish get pellets in the morning. I turn off the return pump so not much gets wasted. Otherwise every 4 days I hand feed reef roids with alternating in-between days with LRS nano frozen (roids, break, LRS, break...). I have AB+ but not sure yet when to feed it.
- Can I run higher nitrates with an LPS only tank? My limit is 15.
