My Tank Thread
This is JMO...I think both of those numbers seem pretty close, yeah. I'm doing my normal scheduled water changes tomorrow on my tanks, so this tank will get another 5 gallon change.
Your reef looks really good and I'd rather be a little high on the parameters than zeroed out. You can still drop them but I'd take it slow so you don't shock your corals by drooping the #'s too fast and not having enough organics in the water column to keep your corals healthy.
Hopefully the skimmer fix that you made, has resolved your raising nitrate issue.
