Bingo. It's the ratio. If phosphates are too low, nitrates hit harder. I keep PO4 at 0.05-0.08 ppm for balance.

Re: nitrate levels for coral health
15 ppm's pushing it for Acros, dude. I keep mine under 5 ppm, or they start looking sketchy. What's your alk at? If it's unstable, high nitrates will mess with 'em even more. My Red Sea test kit shows 7 dKH, and I dose daily.

Re: Pairing a male and female krib.
Honestly, I think the chances of your kribs pairing are quite high - these fish are pretty much 'set and forget' when it comes to breeding. But before you get too excited, take a step back and think about the potential consequences. Are you prepared to deal with a massive spawn of 50 or so kribs ...
