Ryshark’s 120-Gallon Acropora Tank

sounds pretty good with this nutrient numbers.
do you do anything special to keep them stable? Or to keep NO3 this low?

No, in fact I will dose up Nitrate to keep it around 10. For phosphate, when it creeps up, I will dose bacteria like MB7 to keep it around 0.10. However, I haven’t had to use any MB7 in awhile. In fact, I recently toned down my skimmer to skim dryer when my PO4 fell to 0.08.
But for the most part, the tank has been balancing itself out with less corrections on my part.

Stop testing for no3/po4 and sit back, relax and enjoy the tank.

I got an ICP test, its been 4-months and I wanted to just see how things are looking. I also wanted to compare my salifert test kits to ICP from samples on the same day.

Salifert Calcium was 455
Salifert Magnesium was 1395

ICP attached here, I'm pretty happy with it. Looks like the only issue is Lithium, but I think my saltmix always has high lithium.
