Nitrate overdosing?or did I?

[Ksturg]

So my nitrates were testing at 0 but not sure if it was really 0…anyway I decided to dose some neonitro I did 2ml one day then a few days later I dosed another 1ml on a 25 lagoon. Well I checked yesterday after a week from last dose and my nitrates are now almost 40ppm whoops…now that would have concerned me except now my corals have opened to the max…palys are huge zoas are bigger than I have ever seen them..dragon soul favia is so puffy and a shroom that is like 5 inches across…torches are looking better. An accidental overdose has turned into maybe a good thing.

Listen to your corals. If your concerned, about water change will reduce the nitrates.

After seeing the reaction of the corals I am not concerned at all…they are plumped up!

So you run at 50ppm? Any ill effects?
