That’s pretty high but not devastating. unless your tank is acropora dominant, your tank should be able to tolerate that. Just a couple questions… What are the levels when doing NOPOX? What type of corals? How old is the tank, does it consume Nitrates on its own? Do you use a skimmer? What type of filtration do you have? I wouldn’t personally be too concerned about using chemical filtration unless nitrates and phosphate are rising out of control and you start having other issues such as, nuisance algae’s or bacteria build up. I don’t know about ATI C. Seems like a carbon dosing product which will lower both N03 and P04. You would probably need to dose P04. Both the C and P together could work but have not heard. I’ve had luck with tropic Marin NP Bacto balance. It’s a light carbon source that’s designed to bring down nutrients just enough, while adding in what’s needed so you don’t bottom out.
