Hi everyone, I wanted people’s experience on this, The red field ratio. The ratio of 1 phosphate to 16 nitrate. Studies have show once plants and organisms have exhausted the phosphate supply, nitrate consumption stops (plants, coral, and bacteria). My phosphate is 0.01 but my nitrates are very high (higher than I’d like to admit). Has anyone used a method of raising their phosphates (nothing drastic but raise it and maintain it daily) on purpose to have the breakdown of nitrate begin again?
