What exactly is causing alk to drop with nitrate dosing? Is it just due to a reduction in PO4 or are the nitrates spurring faster coral growth / consumption (SPS coloration has significantly improved with the dosing).
When I started dosing my PO4 was .04ppm with nitrates at .00 ppm. Nitrates are now .00-.25 ppm with PO4 somewhere in the .00-.01 ppm range.
Since I'm using Triton Core 7 to manage alk, I'm trying to figure out if I should be just dosing additional alk only in this situation or if I should dose all solutions equally (which would provide additional elements to support growth).
Thanks
