no not really. I had tons of algae in my tank and had 0 detectible nitrates or phosphates. It simply consumed it all before I could even get enough in the water to record.
The caulerpa was growing very fast.
so depending if you have something consumming the nitrates fast, you cannot be sure that there is none just because you see none in your test.
I call it nuisance because it does incrust on pumps and it is hard to remove, plus I think it looks dirty on glass...of course it is an opinion
