Im running a modified ab+ and 100% so its quite the difference there :)
I run AB plus also. Depends on tank size of course but mine is 36x24x22 and with 2 XR15 pros at 38% corals are fine and sand 85% white again. When I ran higher intensity that's when the sand got dirty looked like a mixture of diatoms, cyano and maybe even dinos for awhile. Rocks not to bad just the bottom sand.

Cuvettes are new. The hanna is not even a month old

Regarding bioload i got 6 tangs. All fat (fattest fishes ive ever had in 10 years actually). 1 copperbanded butterfly 2 clowns 1 hawkfish 2 wrasses 1 dragonette

This is in the whole setup with fragtank. Total water volum about 700 litre all in all.

Feeding more reallh isnt a problem either. They get feed plenty judging from their health. Along with grazing. Copperbanded butterfly is really fat and have been with me for about 2 years for exemple.

Ph is abit unstable but randing from 7.9 - 8.2 pretty much. Have an airintake right above the tank pouring in fresh air
Light interval is not an issue. 6 tangs is enough to manage any algae generated from 1.5 cubes of frozen. My fish would be starving at that feed level and ORP level. I am very confused but your cyano and dino are not confused at all. Good luck to you. :)
