If you just started the VSV carbon dosing you'll be surprised how fast the last remaining phospahtes/nitrates will be removed from the system.
Keep in mind that a small amount of nitrates and phosphates is desirable for all corals & clams. Otherwise you'll starve the corals (including sps).

Thanks for the input guys. I think that I'll skip that portion of the system. I already have 6 nice clams (with one more on the way) in my display. I think I'll just leave it at that.
As for the nitrates... this most recent test was the first time that I had any measurable nitrates. My sump cracked, leaked everywhere, and I never bothered to set up my Zeo again... switched to Prodibio out of simplicity.... then did a little reading and decided to try the vsv as well.
