Background info:
Running a trition method tank. Dosing the 4 part to maintain 8dkh.
Nitrates - 0
Phosphates - .08
The fuge/skimmer are sucking all the NO3 out of the water but leaving the PO4. The coloration on my corals could be better but it is not the worst. I have some cyano in the sand, not much of it but it is there in 2" patches. I tried a water change to reduse PO4 levels, but they are remaining a constant .08 using red sea test kit.
I have been seeing a lot of posts saying they noticed benefits of dosing KNO3. Would you recommend I gave this a shot? Any good resources out there for how to get started? (ex: a guide and a place to buy the additives?). What about dosing aminos instead of NO3? would I see the same effects?
Things have changed from when I fist got into the hobby and did all my research. I always assumed 0 nitrates and 0 phosphates were the goal. Now I feel like I need to relearn everything IU thought I knew.
