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?

Growing faster than mine in one month, nice growth in my opinoin
 
That's pretty good growth for one month.
 
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.
