Hi guys! So I'm new to this forum and I'm from the Netherlands so my English can b I little bad sometimes. But non the less I want to ask you guys something. I've got my tank setup for about 5 months now and it's been trough some rough stages..... My filtration is to efficient so al my no3 and po4 gets filtered out. It's a 60L (15gall I guess XD) blue marine with a redsea led 50 above it. Further more I've got a skimmer and a nice clean up crew. I've got 2 peaces of LPs and some softies like GSP, xenia and some buttons. Not to long ago I used to have a sunburst anemone as well. Unfortunately he died :(. He died overnight so al of his nutrients got into my tank and filtration. So I had a massive algae bloom. I had my torch for a very long time and it seemed to really enjoy the tank. But after the algae bloom he changed and seemed to really NOT enjoy the tank due to low no3 and low po4 (this is after the algae bloom so my tank didn't have high nutrients anymore). now I'm dosing no3 and po4 just to not let the LPs starf. Now that that's out of the way. The question is: do you guys think they're gonna recover? Below some parameters

No3: 8mg/l salinity: 1.025
Po4: 0.06 mg/l
Ammonia: none. Calcium: 450ppm
Nitrite: none
KH: 11
Magnesium: 1400 mg/l

Lighting/flow?

The picture looks like the water flow might be low (but pictures can be deceiving).

Have you tried moving its position or adjusting lights too?
Hi! Thanks for the reply.
Yeah there is actually allot of flow. To bad u can't see it on the picture. It's strange bcuz it did so well all the time on that spot. Haven't got this light for that long tbh. Maybe 3 weeks. Could b adjusting to the light? I just hope he'll survive
