Hi everyone
I am hoping to get some feedback about the symptoms you have noticed when you have bottomed out on one or the other nutrient. In my case I have noticed the following:
Low Nitrate: Very pale corals/slow growth/STN
Low Phosphate: Zero tissue growth/ Slow or zero tissue repair/STN
I have found that I can actually go about 3 weeks with zero of a nutrient before it becomes an issue however zero phosphate poses a significantly larger problem to me. In my case corals will die faster when PO4 is bottomed out.
Please let me know what you think.
