Chasing numbers is not only unhealthy for the tank, it's pretty hard tank keeper as well. My current PO4 is 0.15 and my nitrates are almost 20. My SPS is growing and colorful, my zoas and LPS are growing as well. Try to achieve some stability, not a specific number.

Now my NO3 is 14, PO4 is 0.13. This is the same coral now.
