My tank is now 5 months old and in those 5 months I have never had a Nitrate or Phosphate reading.
Tank:
IM 25 Gallon
Fish:
2 Storm Clownfish
1 Tailspot Blenny
1 Rainfords Goby
1 Yasha Goby
1 Pistol Shrimp
1 Trochus snail
1 Large Turbo Snail
1 Large Nassarius Snail
A bunch of Blue Leg Hermits
Coral:
Mostly LPS..
Hammer,Torch,Duncan,Acan,Favia
Some Softies..
Zoas,Toadstool, Mushroom, GSP
Easy SPS..
Montis,Lepto
Parameters:
Kh-8
Ca-415
Mg-1280(this is a little lower than I want and I am slowly rising it)
No3/Po4- ZERO
My tank is doing okay.. there is nothing that is really dying. However in 5 months or so the only growth that I’ve had is a couple new Zoa polyps. My GSP has literally not grown at all in 4.5 months.
I feed about a third of a Mysis shrimp cube a day, and occasionally I spotfeed reef roids
Do you think that it is worth trying to raise No3/Po4?
Or do you think that stability is best and continue regular maintenance and just continue to run the tank ULN with undetectable nutrient levels?
Any help is appreciated!
