Thanks Bulent! I recently lost a number of fisb due to misplaced trust in an lfs. Previously my bioload was very high (5 tangs, 2 swallowtail angels, 3 large anthias, hogfish, wrasse). I would find increasing feeding increased phosphate at a highdr rate than nitrate. Before I started Bacto Balance I was actually dosing 5 to 10 ppm of nitrate weekly to maintain detectable nitrates at 1 to 2.
However since starting Bacto Balance, nitrates settled at 0.2 without dosing and sps colours are not paling noticeably.
I'm working on restoring the livestock population, but it takes time as I collect rare fish
