So my tank is 1 month old and fully cycled. I did water changes last week to bring my nitrates down. Last week after the water change my parameters were
Nitrate 5
Phosphate .03
PH 8.15
Salinity 35
Today I did my weekly tests and they were as follows
Nitrate 5
Phosphate .01
PH 8.15
Salinity 35
I am not surprised to see the phosphate levels decrease being that diatoms showed up this week, however I have read that if nitrate or phosphate get down to 0, it can cause massive algae issues. Should I take any corrective action to increase phosphate?(maybe a little ghost feeding?) Or just let it be for now and see how things play out. Also my CUC will be added tomorrow.
