I think your fine with a Nitrate of 20, mine won’t budge from there and it’s been sitting there for ages (years). I would prefer around 10 but with the amount of fish I have it’s never going to be low.
I’ve always found phosphate to be the cause of issues and that’s why I keep it locked down <0.1 and try to keep it around 0.03. It prevents unwanted ‘things’ growing.
And if you want to start dosing just go shopping and get some more corals
And great pictures Rich!
Yea the no3 isnt too worrisome. I'll give the po4 another week and if I dont see a steady decline trending, I'll go get fresh gfo and carbon. Which by all rights I shouldve done already. The tank attention has declined from the new job. But it's no excuse.
Fragtoberfest is 2 weeks out. Might try to work some deals again. Cash flow is tight.
Loving the coral progression pics. They're all looking great! Especially for a relatively short time on some.
Thanks. I'm overall happy with where the system is at. Not going to get crazy over 1 thing being off a bit.
