Hi all,
I have a 350 gallon (sump included). It has been setup for 6 months. All normal so far, some algae here, some algae there.
I find my nutrients are always quite low. Like yesterday tested nitrates 2.5 and phosphate 0.01.
I feed my fish many times a day (like 10 or more) and they look fat and well. I feed my coral twice a week on average.
My question is: with these nutrient levels, I guess I could feed the corals more often. Would that be beneficial? Or is there such a thing as "too much even if your phosphates are fine"?
I feed Hikari COralific Delight and lps pellets twice, aminos daily and sometimes I spot feed mysis and krill but less and less as the fish steal a lot lol.
The coral I feed are: elegance, acantophyllia, blastomussa, micromussa, bubble, candy cane, favia and goniopora.
Thanks!
