Red Sea No Pox

[sdavi66572]

Been using Red Sea no pox for about 3 months trying to get my phosphates and nitrates in check. Need help getting everything in check. Here is what I have.

Phosphates .04
Nitrates real close to zero
Calcium 370
Magnisium 1200
Alkalinity 10.4
Salinity .125

In a mixed reef:
Phosphate perfect, good in the 0.03-0.07 range. I run mine at .15
Nitrate 2-5ppm to be in balance with phosphate.
Alk, 10.5 a bit high for me, doesn’t match your Nitrate level of detectable, but ok provided its constant. I run only 8.5-9.
CA, I’d bump that up to 420-450
MG, I’d bump that up to 1320-1360
Salinity, yup, 1.025-1.026
Temp 78-79.

Be careful aiming for the big 00, you can find yourself with a surprise cyano/dino outbreak.

Is there any way I can raise my nitrates without raising my phosphates?

You can dos them directly. BRS sells Brightwells stuff.
