One month of vodka dosing. Finally got Nitrate & Phos to almost zero. Should I keep at this number?

I was amazed by what I saw. Nitrate at 50ppm is now down to almost zero! Phosphate from 0.15 to zero as well (pic not included). Tests were done on both Salifert and API. Should I keep them this way, or it has to be a bit higher? Tank is a year old, mix reef, no refugium, and feeding is heavy.

It looks like you have some nitrates so that’s good just don’t let them bottom out at 0. I would want some phosphate in your system though 0 isn’t good.

0 is a recipe for dinos

A lot keep nitrates 10x phos.... Some 20x

0 on both is no good.

My no3 is at 5-8 po4 is at .1 in a sps dominant tank. Don't chase those uln, that will lead to bad things... Trust me I spent 8+ months fighting Dino's because I chased numbers.
