Hi, recently my tank has been running with lower nitrates as before and one major thing i realised was slower coral growth and they aren’t as puffy. I only keep lps and softies and they both have slowed down in growth ever since my nitrates dropped to 5. I used to run my tank with high nitrates 40-50(lfs said corals would love it at 40 too lol) and the corals were growing faster. But now with nitrates only at 5 they have barely grown albeit still growing just not as fast as before. Why is that? 5 isnt that low tho and should be fine, no? Neon hairy mushrooms even started to bleach a little and have stopped growing big and splitting. All the favias growth slowed down, gsp on back wall growing ALOT slower, candy cane not splitting for months now when it used to split quite often, duncan has stopped producing heads too when it was the most prolific grower, frogspawn and hammer slowed down too. The babies coming out from the skeleton just stopped growing bigger.
