I have had my IM nuvo 10 up and running for about 3 months now. It is stocked with one clown, a couple hermits and snails, and about 10 corals mixed between LPS and softie's. I have a fuge in the second chamber of bio media and chaeto and it is loaded with pods. The system has hit 0 nitrates about two weeks ago and they have stayed undetectable since then (using salifert and API test kit). I admit, I am a light feeder (twice a week for corals and maybe 3 times a week for the fish). The tank also could support another fish or two at least. Everything seems to be thriving and doing really well, but I am worried about 0 nitrates, as I would like to have something detectable in the system, around 3-5ppm ideally. Think I should up my feeding, ditch the fuge, or maybe increasing the bio load fish wise would actually be good for the system to get some more nutrients in the water column?
Again, everything is doing well, but trying to be precautionary about this, so wanted to get some thoughts from the forum. Thanks!
