So right now, i have a pretty bad case of GHA. Every thread i read about it seems to be pointing in the same direction, nutrient export.
My current tank is a 90L (23g) nano, upgrading to 300L (47g) in 2 weeks top.

The thing is, every time i turn on my nutrient export system (oversized skimmer), reducing feedings. I get an instant bloom of dinos followed by the decrease in GHA growth. That's because dinos thrive in low nutrient environments. The problem is that i can't seem to find the balance between both, maybe i'm missing something?

It wouldn't be hard to do a rip clean in the nano tank but the key to reefing us stabil parameters, proper lighting and flow coupled with a tank maturing process that builds biodiversity and microfauna.

What are your current parameters, lighting and flow? Age of the tank? Diverse cleaner crew?
