obrien.david.j Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 For me, 0.04 is fine … but In my system they dropped from that to zero too fast, without me realizing, and caused complete chaos. (My system). it happened multiple times, with me not realizing why things were going down hill, …. so, you numbers look fine. are you monitoring regularly, are they moving up and down much. Especially, are they dropping down very often? If not, your good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarger16 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Ive been testing biweekly since month 2 im on month 3 now. Nitrate and phosphate were pretty steady at 16ppm nitrate and 0.08 phosphate, up until my nitrate spike I then just slowly worked it down to what it is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 As stated, as long as you are above 0, everything will be fine. Monitoring is key to avoid zeroing out. Nothing wrong with that number at all. also depends on what you are growing. LPS don’t mind it being quite a bit higher as long as it’s gradual.
