Hey everyone, I have a fairly new red sea reefer 300 XL, that's about 80 gallons, that's been running since November. I do have a reef mat hooked up to it and a protein skimmer running. I have experience with reef tanks had a successful 200 gallon for years. Recently some of my zoas have been closing up and I think its from low nutrients. My parameters are the following, all tested with hanna checkers
ALK 10.0
Calcium 490
Nitrate 0.0
Phosphate 0.015
I have a little bit of turf algae in the tank that is slowly dying off and I am still dealing with some other new tank uglys. The past couple days I've tried dosing Brightwells Neonitro and my nitrates haven't moved from 0.0. Is there any other additives I should look into to dose? Or any suggestions in general on how to "dirty" my tank a little bit is much apprenticed. Thank you!
