1.2 is nothing to worry about. Many reefers would kill to have your reading. Relax. There is a current theory that corals need a little nitrate. If you are at 2 or below, just relax. When you chaeto grows and you harvest it out, you will take out more and more Nitrate.

You did a 25% water change. Ergo 75% of 2 is 1.5. You are at what you should be at. Patience is your friend, in all things reef.
