I'm sure you've tried thousands of things... but I found most times when N or P are low, to just make your fish fat. Feed the daylights out of them. I had some problems before with bottomed out nutrients and I started feeding two and sometimes three times a day. I feed LRS frozen most of the time, as it's pretty natural and balanced in nutrients so things dont get sideways. That and a huge fuge soaking up excess nutrients and pumping natural bugs into the display help me keep a tank from going sideways. I also love phyto. It's so good for the tank, it can act as a refugium in limited capacity and doesn't elevate N or P yet is the first stepping stone of the reef food pyramid.
What dry rock did you use...? I understand yours is acting as a phosphate sink? News to me. Love that about this hobby; science, math, wizardry...
Huh, does it always do that? I dont think I've ever experienced it, or maybe I haven't paid any attention to it? I have ocean direct live sand "directly from the ocean floor" and caribsea liferock, which is basically aragonite sand that had been cemented together into different shapes then coated with some purple colored stuff and bacteria spores.
Did not say, but I would assume so. It really is beautiful. Yes, I am smiling. At least I got something done at work.

TV magic. I basically do what an editor does, but I do it live, in real time, based on what a director calls. Cutting cameras and feeds, overlaying graphics, whooshy wipes, heads in boxes, heart wipes, etc. I am responsible for all visual aspects of a show.
Actually, that looks familiar.Exactly! I bet you had something like this in your crib too
Wow, that's a lot more colorful than ours. Of course, ours was built in the late 60s and has been retrofitted more than a few times... still have original mechanical switches to start some of the equipment and move valves, some of it is on the computer controls...Here is a wider shot of the control room
I never use chemicals (not judging) but Cerith and Trochus snails always took care of hair algae well for me.
This control room is about two months old. State of the art and technologically modern. All that fancy description does not account for the issues and headaches I deal with almost every night with “new facility” issues. New is not always magically better.
