People keep their tanks wiyh nitrates for the corals to feed but you have to keep phosphates low but I wouldnt go over 10 for nitrates. I have tried this approach and it works but you have constant algae and detritus build up. Always cleaning your glass, changing filter socks, vacuuming sandbed, etc and im not a big fan of more maintenace. Now I keep nitrates and phosphates at 0, but I add a few drops of amino acid and the somtimes sps food. A lot less work for me, better colours and growth. All, i do now for maintenace is empty the skimmer cup and wipe a very light dust off the glass every 7-10 days. Let your equipment do the dirty work for you in your tank!
