Marco, Dont just watch your corals. Watch for algae growth and cyno bacteria as well. If the corals and system arent utilizing the stuff properly, it will become excess nutrients in your tank, thus feeding the algaes and cyno bacterias in your tank. I am not saying dont use it, just use it carefully.
Let us know the results!!!
