When it comes to Nitrates and Phosphates, I heard as long as it follows a 1:100 ppm ratio rule you’re solid. I don’t remember which ones 1 and which ones 100 nor if it’s ppm. I’d do some research but as long as it follows the ratio and your alkalinity is decent, everything should be fine!

My friend is currently at 0.27 PO4 and then 14.1 NO3 and his mixed reef is essentially thriving alk is 7.4 as well.

What did you mean by 1:100?

I’d do some research on it I don’t know myself I just know if you follow that ratio it’s good for the corals. But you don’t need to chase numbers in reefing as long as you can keep it simple, copepods, bacteria, nutrient exporters i.e. sponges, clams, macroalgae, mature a tank with consistent diverse feeding of foods, you will have a healthy tank that will heal anything. Beautiful reef by the way! If the corals are happy, the tank is chilling.

How much fish would you add in a reef tank 20 gallon

I currently have 4 happy fish. The more tank length and width the more space for fish capacity, not tank height. When it comes to fish bioload ideally it’s 1 fish every month minimum. 20 Gallon Rectangle Display you could push it to 6, but also keep in mind the size of the fish.

If your corals are thriving and colors are popping I wouldnt change anything keep doing what you’re doing, your corals are the perfect indicators of something is wrong and it seems like nothing is wrong with those numbers
