Updates: Zoas and hammer may be even more retracted today. Looked like the Duncan was out a little more than it had been the few days prior.
I have a good bit more of what I believe to be film algae, I cleaned the glass yesterday afternoon. You can also see some of the harder green (algae?) on the rocks, it doesn't really come off even with a toothbrush. The bubbles and cloudiness are due to pulling the media basket apart and swapping carbon. I notice a bit of brown on the rocks too.
I refreshed the Matrix Carbon today and tested for anything that I have tests. Only phosphate test that I have at the moment is a Salifert and my reagent seems damp, so I doubt it.
