I have a 20gallon tank with a refugium. I have some lps corals and I am trying to keep sps in that tank. My nitrates are low in this tank. I tested last night and they were 1. Phosphates are at 0.10. Should I start dosing Nitrates in my tank?

I'd dose amino acids. I prefer that over regular nitrate dosing unless you start seeing cyano pop up.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
