Another nutrient question...sorry!!

[Dhoggs]

I’ve seen posts regarding raising nutrients....but for some reason cant seem to find the specific post that provides answer to my question.

My sticks are turning pale and some have slowly bleached and I think due to starvation. PO4 and NO3 are both currently undetectable in my system using Hanna and Nyos test kits. I tried heavy feeding (pellets 3x and 2 cubes of frozen mysis daily) but to no avail. For this reason I am planning on dosing po4 and no3.

Which should I dose first....nitrate or phosphate? Can i increase both at the same time?

You could try something like Red Sea Reef Energy A + B or Acropower and see if it helps. Amino acids are known to help color up SPS and help them thrive again when kept in ULNS systems.
