From what I see, your corals look good. I wouldn't worry about it. Don't get caught up chasing numbers, focus on results instead. 50 ppm isn't crazy high for NO3 - soft corals actually do better with "dirty" water. I run .5/50 PO4/NO3 consistently.

How old is your system and how long did it take to achieve those numbers?

It's approaching 2 years old. But my numbers have been that for at least 18 months.
