Nitrate around 15ppm and phosphate around .08ppm... i want to lower Nirate

[125mph]

My nitrates are a bit high at about 15ppm, and phos is where I want it, around .08.

How do I lower nitrates and keep phosphates where they are? I read Nopox may work or should I try Tropic Marin NP Balance?

Why? Absolutely nothing wrong with 15ppm of nitrate. Those numbers are spot on to me and not worth fixing unless it’s rising month over month

Either one of those would work....however as above reply.....

Easiest way to lower nitrates is water change but your numbers are perfect now.

Okay so if it stays at around 15ppm its fine? I thought I had to keep around 5-10ppm for good coral health?

At what level should I start bringing down?

I have seen super successful tanks with all sorts of nitrate readings. From 0-100+.

If you can keep them at 15 with your current feeding, filtration, and husbandry schedule you will be successful. If they start rising every month, then it’s time to look at some fixes IMO.
