I think my tank is getting to clean for my lps corals. I don't know my nitrates and phosphates at the moment but my corals don't seem to be as big

Buddy was having the same problem and friend suggested this to him.
"I just faced this same issue in one of my tanks. You will undoubtedly increase PO4 along with NO3, but the best way to minimize the amount of PO4 while increasing NO3 is your bio-load. Make sure you have a way of exporting PO4 (ie. GFO or Rowa). How many fish do you currently have in there?

If that fails, I have found great success dosing Floringro by Brightwells. I dose about 1/2 a capful per day and it maintains my NO3 at ~2ppm"

I have 2 clownfish in there now. That's it.
 
Corals look fine... acan are plump. Until you test for po3 and po4 you will never know and either will anyone looking at a picture.[emoji6]
