Water changing while trying to raise nutrients

[reef’r]

Hey so recently I made a bit of a mistake and dropped my nutrients down into the single digits, I want them to be in the 15-20 range. I usually do water changes on Thursday and so this week I skipped, but it’s killing me a little inside lol has anyone continued a normal water change schedule when trying to raise nutrients? I’ve always just held off until numbers got back in line

when im trying to keep No3 at the range I like I just test and re dose after a water change. I recommend neo phos and neo nitro depending on which nutrient you want to raise.

How big of water changes do you do? Most changes aren’t a big effect in nutrients.

Normal schedule is 5 gallons weekly on a 30g system

I suppose when I think about it, if I’m at 5-10ppm n03 and I do a my normal water change I’d only be dropping the n03 level by less than 1ppm correct?
