Nutrient question?

[Simonsen]

Hi!

What levels does people aminig for in your SPS/LPS tanks?

Did measure now and feel PO4 is good but maby adjust NO3 up a bit?

I typically aim for less than 10 ppm Nitrate and less than 0.1ppm phosphate. Ultimately I judge on coral appearance.

I've seemed to settle around .1 and 25 on this build and have only had trouble when intentional deviation occurs. I find I get better colors and overall health just letting the tank do it's thing.

Those results look good to me.
See if they hold, week to week.

Nitrates can go up safely to 20 and extending water changes will help that slowly climb. Phos can go to .1 safely so, in essence you are in safe range yet

Looks good right there!

My Goniopora don't like nitrates below 10, so I shoot for 12-15. If I let my phosphates go over .08, bubble algae goes crazy. I shoot for .03 - .06. At these levels I get the best color.
