Current FTS.
There's nothing much to say. As you can see, tank looks terrible. Cyano is everywhere. NO3 and PO4 still undetectable.
I am dealing with the same right now. Big maintenance day on the tank which I am hoping will help.

Try getting rid of the algae in your DT
Your tests and readings are false negatives
Do that first before you start dosing anything otherwise you’re going to have a bunch of other problems
I would soooo buy this immediately!This is how I test my water.
It's custom made magnetic stirrer. 3D-printed body, USB charging, controlled speed and backlight on a separate switch. Cost me $30.
And that's SOOO easier to do a titration test this way I can't believe they don't sell such stirrers everywhere.
That's a lot of changes, although your tank is pushing over 6 months old. I would expect for things to stabilise by now, but considering you added the lights and the skimmer only much later, it might be the case of nasties still doing their thing as with any new tank.
Maybe the rock that was "cured" by your LFS contained a lot of phosphates or other stuff that just keep leaching. Hard to say. I'd do many more regular water changes for a few weeks and see if that brings any positive changes.
I understand. Take it easy and good luck.
