I just did a 5G water change on my nuvo 40(probably 35G of water volume, maybe a little less) and my after water change results were:
Nitrate: ~2.5 - 5PPM
Phosphate: 0.08 PPM
Usually after a week of no water change, my numbers sit at:
Nitrate: 5 -10PPM
Phosphate: .12PPM
I'm not overly worried about my nitrate numbers since I can keep them in check with water changes, however, my phosphates aren't quite as low as I think they need to be? SPS coloration is okay, but I feel like it could be more vibrant.
I run GFO out of a media rack, but I feel like it doesn't do much or gets exhausted quickly...Is it worth using phosphate RX or Phosphat -E to get these numbers lower to the .03 range?
