I have a 125 Gal reef tank. I have quite a bit of live rock and live sand as the substrate. I have approx. 10 fish (tang, clown fish, dart fish, etc) I a good amount of mushroom coral which are growing very well, the rock and back glass is getting covered with red and purple coralline algae. I also have a couple candy cane soft coral which are growing. The live rock came with sponges and small feather dusters attached and they are multiplying. I have no algae blooms and very little algae growing on the glass or rock with the exception of the coralline algae, nothing that the snails and hermit crabs cant handle.
I test my water every 2 weeks and everything is within parameters, salinity is .025, calcium is 450 ppm, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, phosphates are almost non existent, barely registering on the test scale, ph is right around 8.3-8.4. I replenish evaporated water with distilled water when I can and add reef supplements. I haven't done a water change in almost two months because every time I test my water my Nitrate levels are always at 0. I have tested the water two and three times and used two different API marine test kits and Nitrates are always 0.
Not that I am complaining, but is this possible. I never had a tank that consistently had 0 nitrates for months at a time
