Little update.
My tank has finally reached a semblance of stability. It took a year. I think I am reaching the first milestone.
Nitrates are solid at 0.25ppm and po4 are at 0.02. Cannot raise them naturally (without dosing) but at least they don't bottom out. Corals are liking it.
Have a widespread bubble algae. But in the past month it has stopped spreading... but my emerald crab died without a clear reason. Too much food! Joke aside I never figured out why.
Also lost a fire red shrimp. Got eaten three days into the tank. Neon dottyback surely. Lesson learned. All other inhabitants are doing great, corals included.
