![]() Get the pellets and never worry about nitrate again.
(Just sayin'...)

![]() Just feed more.
![]() FWIW, the softies I have are zoanthids and gorgonians. Sadly, I don't have LPS in the tank because the butterflies would nip at them so they are not in the same tank. But the zoanthids and gorgs are not negatively impacted at least. In fact, my purple ribbon gorgonian that has been brown for the last 4 years is starting to turn purple again since starting the pellets. What I'd do is just start with a small amount. Then you wouldn't be risking a nutrient depletion shock. Food for thought anyhow. ![]()

![]() I have a lot of LPS and so far none of them seem phased by the low nutrients, like zero Nitrates (and presumably phosphates)! They are all still growing (new heads, larger tentacles, etc). I have always spot fed my LPS from time to time though and that routine has not changed.
That is weird about the Coral Snow. I have dosed that stuff too at full dose and never noticed any changes to corals really. Coral snow is very different from the pellets. |

![]() That's really strange about the Coral Snow... if it was a really fast decline with them then I would suspect brown jelly disease (it's a protozoan) in which a LPS can melt off literally overnight or a matter of hours.
![]() But at any rate, you don't have to do Coral Snow anyhow. It's just something that grabs ahold of the yellowing compounds and makes it easier to skim out so your water is theoretically a little more polished once the initial cloudiness clears up. And it's totally different than the pellets anyhow. Think of the pellets as an alternative to a phosphate remover that instead 1) does both nitrates and phosphates, and 2) does not need to be replaced every month. Hope this helps.
