Po4 measured by Hanna ULR 0.0ppb
N03 measured by Red Sea low. 0.50ppm

I like my phosphates higher. I'll be dosing Phytofeast tonight.

What are your nutrients at?
 
PO4 .05 (down from .1 a week ago. Changed GFO. Got outta hand for a bit )

Nitrate 16.

I would like to get nitrate down to but have always battled with them I would like 0-4 on low range red sea kit. I dont have a fuge so I have to rely on carbon dosing.

Some days I'm ok with the nitrates. Other days I'm not.

Hey Brandon,

I dose to maintain these ranges, but they are added manually for now.
Phos Hanna ULR 0.05-0.10 ppm
Nitrate Red Sea 5-15 ppm

Personally i am thinking about holding nitrates at 15-20 going forward.

Ca - 400, Alk 11 (was holding @8, but boosted last month and seeing better sps growth)

I am sending samples for triton this week.

SPS dominant tank, or I wouldn't have these PIA numbers:D

Phosphate.05-.07 on Hanna
Nitrate 11-13 on Lamotte
 
nanook is the tank looking better with the numbers you posted today'
I commented on one of your old post.
My last test was nitrate under 10 / phosphate 1.5
 
0 phos and 0 nitrate every time I test. I think I need to figure out how to get them up a smidgen without over doing it.

NO3: .5ppm
PO4: .04ppm

Ca: 410
Alk: 9

Really trying to get my Ca & Alk more stable. I started dosing kalk this past week. My sps isn't growing, it's more just living. Thoughts?

My stuff is holding, some burnt tips and dulled colors, lack of growth. I'm hoping it takes off soon since everything is holding steady.
 
I'm losing some of my newer frags after taking a closer look. Some montis and a few acropora that have faded and had tissue die off. With my parameters consistently where they are, except for phosphate, I'm going to send water out for a Triton test on Mitesh's advice.
 
I'm now convinced going for low nitrates doesn't work in every tank. Had great colors in lps and sps until I started carbon dosing and running algae scrubber. Now I'm seeing softies brown and burnt tips on sps. Going to test my theory by going back to 40-50 ppm nitrates and see if things bounce back.
