Been away from my tank for almost a week. Corals look fantastic with crazy PE and growth everywhere. my alk dropped from 7.2 to 6.4 (red sea blue bucket, using hannah ulr phos checker). My Nitrate, and Phosphate has also been steadily declining as well (I have neophos, and neonitro to dose as needed but have not dosed yet) I only have 2 small fish and feed them frozen once or twice a day and feed reef roids and benepets to the corals every Saturday or Sunday.
This morning my Nitrate is at 2.8ppm (hannah cheker) and Phosphate at .01 (hannah ulr phos checker) I usually do my water change today, but seeing my NO3 and PO4 is rather low, should i skip ? I manually dose everything for now including trace elements with Red Sea additives. I am currently setting up my Versa to dose Kalk (debating if I should just go with TM All for Reef to simplify dosing.
I would feed more if i had more fish, but it takes a while to get them go thru QT. I have 2 clowns coming within a few days to add to the bioload.
