Hello everyone!

I was just curious on what everyone keeps their phosphates at in their reef tank?! I have a 15 G Nano tank with softies and LPS. My phosphates on my Hanna checker ULR is 0.06. Is this acceptable? Just looking for some opinions because I have seen mixed reviews online! Thanks in advance!

I generally recommend 0.02 to 0.1 ppm phosphate with above the range being better than below it) and 2-10 ppm nitrate (above the range better than below)
