My nitrates are at 20 ppm and phosphates at .26 and everything grow like weeds. My SPS grow much faster than some people who have low nutrient system. I do feed my corals quite a bit, zeovit amino acid, coral vitalizer and sponge power each day, fauna marin ultraclam, ultra zoa and ultra min 3 to 4 times per week.


Colors are great too. I am trying to lower this a bit but was told if it's not broken don't fix it, so I put some bio-cube to lower the nitrates slowly and it seem to be working, nitrates are at 5ppm.

At some point my nitrates were at 50ppm and more, phosphates at .36, no problem with that either.

daniella3d, thank you for your input.

The corals seem to be acclimating a lot better to turning up the whites. I took a picture this evening:
