My tank has been without water change for 3 months and the nitrates and phosphates have gone all the way down nearly undetectable.
Alk is 8.5-9 calcium 460 and mag is 1400
The parameters are pretty stable but the corals are not popping. Growth has slowed a little bit. I'm running chemi clean and carbon and a protein skimmer 24/7.
Is it a good idea to shut off protein skimmer for a few days so that nutrients climb a little?
Not dealing with algae at the moment
Picture is from a couple weeks ago before colors declined
