Other end of the spectrum

I've finally really gotten after my parameters. The problem is, now I'm concerned about nitrate and phosphate bottoming out. Typically nitrate would be 15 or 20 and phosphate around .5. Today my reading was nitrate 3 and phosphate about .05. Should I be concerned? This is a new problem for me. I don't run a sump or chaeto. HoB filter with floss and carbon, skimmer and RUGF filtration. I also did my standard 9ml NoPox dose for my 90 gallon already. Since measuring I fed the tank with some coral frenzy for some peace of mind.

Those are at the lowish end but OK, IMO.

Going to reduce the nopox starting tomorrow. I'd rather not have them as low as they are. In the matter of 3 or 4 days the numbers dropped significantly. Dinos are one thing I've been lucky enough to avoid.

More curious what you did to drop them.

Been dosing NoPox for a while now so that was a small factor I'm sure. Also started putting my frozen food through a strainer before adding to the tank. On top of that I have been dialing in every other parameter for my tank. That's the only changes.
