Makes sense.It depends on light levels. High light requires high nutrients. Think of it similar to planted tanks where high light you need to supplement co2.
I find with lots of light, I can run higher alk which supported by higher nutrients gives a good balance of growth and color.

So what are you aiming for in regards to nitrates and phosphates?It depends on light levels. High light requires high nutrients. Think of it similar to planted tanks where high light you need to supplement co2.

8-10?!? I'm assuming that's mostly autofeeder?I have 18 fish and feed 8-10x a day

Mine tested at 120ppm, so yeah, I think .5 ppm is low.Tested my nitrate and I think my nitrate is at 0.50 ppm is that consider low? Might need to retest with another kit cause I feed like crazy. But then I have multiple blocks of marine pure, lots of siporax and seachem matrix.

I would agree.That brings up another point. Let's say I add new fish but feed the same amountz. Nutrients should remain the same in the water right since nothing else has changed? It's a relatively closed system (unless adding fish changes export functions of skimmer/fuge etc). So why would increasing food in this closed system not increase nutrients? I always thought increasing fish meant increasing food which would then increase nutrients. Thoughts?
