Brains trust! Help me out here with my parameters.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
PH: 8.3
Phosphate: 0.125 (approx)
KH/Alk: 7.7
Salinity: 35.5ppt
Temp: 25.2°c
I cannot for the life of me seem to keep / start any nitrate reading.
From everything I've read, I do need some for corals. My solo GH mushroom is thriving, not worried about the coral at all. But I want to add more softs.
I have had some slight swings with salinity creeping up to the 38ppt mark, working on different levels and adjusting my ATO float to fix this. It's slowly staying lower.
I'm doing a weekly 10-15% water change. 8-12Litres. Mixed with the standard Red Sea salt mix. I almost think I'm keeping it too clean, alternatively the algae might be altering the reading.

With a newer cleaner tank it can be tough to have nitrate over 0. I had this issue with my tank. 1. Make sure your nitrate test is correct. 2. I dosed NeoNitrate I think it’s called to raised nitrate over 0. Alternately try to feed the clowns more frequently. Also I’d stop doing weekly water changes and try every 2 weeks or 3 that can also help nitrate be over 0
