Wouldn't be hard but I just have no place atm to keep it with sufficient light, unless they can live under 130watt PC lighting?
they can yes. A decent fuge light can cost $6 you just need flow and food like old tank water..

I would say reversing your nitrate phosphate ratios would help a ton. Should have more nitrate than phosphate. What you have is a recipe for cyano as well. Your corals would be happier too

My No3 was at 5ppm so the reverse would not be effective. Where my No3 and Po4 levels are at they actually optimal. Not 0 and just a little bit. I've always run a low nutrient system while dosing either Fuel or reef Energy. Had great growth and color before my crash.

Here's a pic before my crash.
