Hello, I am partially new to this hobby, I own a 15 gallon cube, with two clownfish, one goby, a shrimp, and several snails and hermits. Plus a urchin.
I also have 1 torch coral. Any ideas on how to lower nitrates and phosphates?
Any ideas will be welcome!

Welcome to the forum Starfish!

Lowering Nitrates and Phosphates can be achieved by doing faithful, weekly, 20% water changes.

This will also help you to replenish elements consumed by the tank.

Welcome to R2R! I agree with the others, water changes are the easiest and safest way to bring down nutrients. Also be sure you are not over feeding, it is easy to do.
