Thanks guys , since my rock ,sand came from my old tank its mature enough to be able to keep stable and keep sps.
Its just been a little tough pinpointing the dosing to reach a favorable level since its a nano, and stock of sps now.
And also, Im still fairly new to the hobby but I got all these supplements and test kits now I really need to be dilligent in my husbandy and actually test/add to keep stable.
My rocks are turning more dark purple , i guess the mag supplement is helping.
this chart is your friend

type in your gallons and product your using and makes it pretty easy , on the 300 gallon i've added as much as 800 ml of mag to bring it back up to 450 after going on Vaca and my Bro only fed the fish & coral never tested .Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That looks really helpful,thanks man.
Im gonna input my numbers when I test tomorrow afternoon.
I wish I would have taken A picture 3 weeks before I started this thread,and how bad the tank was covered in algea, and the receding coral, pale colors.You guys suggested an ATO,and thats my next purchase.
I have a med-Heavy stocked tank, so I do get alot of nutrients but the NO3PO4X takes care of most .
My phosphates are really low now (light olive color in titration test) and my trates and trites are also semi low, sps seem to like it that way because everything opens up now and im getting growth tips and rims on my coral.
My one other problem was lack of flow.The stock return pumps on the Red Sea 130D are great upstairs, but the small powerhead I had wasnt doing much for the sandbed.
I purchased a Pink Spot Goby,and WOW.
This lil dude has my sand looking sparkling white.
Also purchased a Jebao rw4 2 weeks ago, and the flow is amazing in my nano now.
Heres a pic of my tank today.
Still a work in progress as far as the cleaning goes.
Man Nano Reefs are tough.
