Parameter to High?

[Heidi’s20long]

Here's a question that I been trying to research and could use some input. 

So i have a 20L with mixed corals (mush, hammer, acan, blasto, zoa's, stylo, favia, xenia, monti, trumpet,) I mix my own with Red Sea blue bucket and shoot for 1.024-.026.

When I test my new batch I usually hit around 8.5 Alk 440 Ca Mg 1260-1280. So here's the question; Why are DT parameters  higher then that? Running lately around 8.9 Alk 525 Ca

Mg 1360. Trates under 10 and Phos around .05. I chalk it up to "extra stuff" I add to tank. Reef Energy AB plus, Phyto, Poly Boost, which all claim to have amino's.  I do have 2part but have'nt had a need to add well over a month or so.   I noticed when I keep my Trate's closer to 20 Alk goes to 8.4 and Ca goes down 450 or so. I do feed very heavy but I also export heavy. (oversize skimmer and 30% WC weekly.) Should I  dial back on additives and let my DT parameters match new salt parameters or as long as corals are fine leave it be?

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

 

(So yes, if your corals are happy and everything seems alright, just leave the tank be)
