Reef nutrition

Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

The only thing that sticks out to me is high nitrates (84 mg/Liter = ppm). Maybe that's why your zoas and mushrooms look so fluffy. I wish mine looked like yours :) I guess high nitrates could also be a contributing factor to your (lyngbya)?

I don't have any of the lyngbya in this tank. Only the 210gallon and nem tank.

I run a gfo reactor on this tank that I have the flow constricted to where it's just about where you could see drops so. Imagine a very slim stream.

I do 10 gallon water changes once a week, rsk 300 skimmer, and a redsea nano roller. Beyond that I've never attempted to directly lower Nitrate.


I'll have to research options to lower them if this is something advisable? I wouldn't want to do nothing and they climb to a breaking point. Nor do I wanna negativity effect things if lowering them has potential to cause un foreseen issues.
