I got this neon birdnest last december and using this as my training SPS since then. So I want to know if the growth rate is fine or it can be better?

Nice!!! drop the details light, placement, test results etc
 
Thanks all. I learned every single thing here on this forum.

Parameters:
PO4: 0 (Hanna low range)
NO3: I prefer keeping it between 2-5ppm (Actually dose Potassium nitrate pure)
pH:7.8-7.9
Alkalinity:-9-10dkH(Hanna)
Temp:79-81F
Calcium:440 (Salifert)
Magnesium:1310 (Salifert)

My light is Mars Aqua and I try to run 70%blue and 50% white/colour. I put them at the top closest to light.
 
Growth looks great. Now some say you need a touch of phosphate if I am not correct?
My Hanna reads 0 but its not the ULR checker so generally there will be some phosphate its just that the checker can not detect it.
