I have absolutely no nitrates per my tests. I haven't tested my PO4 yet. but the only thing I have changed is my salt a month ago from reef crystals to liveaquria reef salt. I have lost corals but not from my no nitrate issue. I came home and found 1 hammer upside down in the sand and dead so I took that out and the second is my zoa frag is dieing but that's from my puffer picking at it. everything else is spot on.
I do plan on testing my PO4 after I post this.
bet all corals other than those 2 look good and healthy. I do run my skimmer all the time. I have it turned on right now on the lowest setting and it's just putting air into the tank and not skimming at all.
I also have a HOB filter that I turned into a refugium with cheato in it. I have that turned on. but not seen any growth from it the past 2 months I have had it. but it is not dead at all. so it's consuming something. I will be taking that off line soon to try to get my nitrates up.
also I usually put in a cube of frozen mysis shrimp. but today after finding out 0 nitrates I put in 2 cubes and will hope to see nitrates go up a little the next 24 hours.
