Thanks for the input. I have no issues keeping NO4 and PO4 low. My guess is that they are too low. One of the reasons why I stopped the pellets.
No they are not on the sand...

I can see some new heads on my zoas after many weeks of heavy feeding. My nitrates wont go above .25. But with .25 things are growing... still crazy slow, but at least some growth...

got to love that autocorrect spelling... Well as my nitrates go up so does my growth rate..... As soon as I notice a drop of in growth, I measure my nitrates and sure enough they are back to zero.... Gonna incrase the feeding again... That as well as regular water changes and gravel cleaning seems to be giving me the best results...

Phosphates are easily keeps to undetectable with GFO and regular gravel vacuuming.... I also switched to HC GFO and its been great... But good point...
Brightwell now sells nitrate in a bottle for just this problem. There is one problem though... No one sells it....
