Well.... NO3 is down to about 10-15ppm and PO4 is 0.1. Hopefully the NO3 test isn't a fluke. Am going to continue to test daily and slowly increase food back to normal-ish levels as long as I can maintain these numbers.

it’ll carry on coming down, if you haven’t already stopped dosing nopox, and decide to stop using it, reduce it slowly, don’t just stop.

Reduced it to 5ml/day while I increase feeding. Should balance out. Gonna finish out the bottle (almost done) and then won't be dosing anymore.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
