Things are thriving despite my worry over bottomed out nitrate levels! I got myself a Hanna Nitrate tester so I can more accurately see where things are at. I’m so far benchmark test with it is 1.29ppm. I have Brightwell Neonitro on hand just in case but refraining from using it yet till I monitor trends for a little while. Started increasing feedings and changing the filter sock once a week instead of twice in case things were ‘too clean’. But despite my worry, everything is happy and growing!

Love how that green and purple anemone is absolutely glowing in your tank! That color pop under your lighting is killer. I’ve had similar worries with low nitrates in my nano setups too. Sometimes those low nitrates freak me out but as long as you’re seeing healthy polyp extension and growth, you’re probably in a good spot. I like your approach of monitoring with the Hanna tester instead of dosing right away. Brightwell Neonitro is solid if you need it but overdoing nutrients can cause more issues for sure. How’s the flow near the anemone? I’ve found gentle but steady flow helps
