Phosphate levels?

[NoMu Fish]

Hello everyone!

I was just curious on what everyone keeps their phosphates at in their reef tank?! I have a 15 G Nano tank with softies and LPS. My phosphates on my Hanna checker ULR is 0.06. Is this acceptable? Just looking for some opinions because I have seen mixed reviews online! Thanks in advance!

thats fine as long as ur not at 0 . yeah its confusing because everyone runs different , go by ur corals that u have . im running a little under .2 I have a heavy coral load and every time I mess with po4 my corals get ticked off .

Anything below .12.
Even a little,higher is nothing tho be worried about.
Too low is worse.

I generally recommend 0.02 to 0.1 ppm phosphate with above the range being better than below it) and 2-10 ppm nitrate (above the range better than below)
