Nitrate 12 Phosphate 0.2 = good??

[peterhos]

Hi All My tank is 5 months old now. Hanna checkers show 12 for nitrate and 0.2 for phosphate. I have some GSP which seem to be fine, a few zoa frags which are mostly growing and a few cheap SPS frags which are looking a little brown but some are ‘greening up’ a little. Any thoughts would be most welcome. I have a little Rowaphos in the media basket under the roller mat. Many thanks.

Looks good to me.

Phos a little high depending on your test kit. But stability is more important than the number.

Zero is bad = dinos for me

I wouldn't worry about those numbers.

Thank you. I may try to bring po4 down a little, maybe to 0.1 - 0.15. Am checking with Hanna - much easier than the Red Sea tests.

Slow. If any. If you've been there. Keep it there.
