Perfect. Going to ask a ton of questions to help kick off the conversation...

How old is the tank?

What major equipment are you running:
Skimmer?
Powerheads?
Return Pump (is it large enough to contribute to flow?)
Running Carbon or GFO?

How many/what fish do you have? What inverts in the tank?

What are your major parameters:
Salinity?
Temperature?
Alkalinity?
Calcium?
Magnesium?
Nitrates?
Phosphate?

What settings are you running on your light? What is the lighting schedule?

@JaimeAdams I am so happy to report my water is crystal clear again! I just ordered another power head to help keep the film off the glass, the sand is still brown, but the green is just about completley gone and the Duncan is almost fully out again. Whenever you feel I am ready? :) Thank you!

How old is the tank? 2 Months

What major equipment are you running:
Skimmer? Octo 2K classic HOB
Powerheads? two 850's (Hydor Koralia Circulation & Wave Pumps) * Just ordered an additional 1150
Return Pump (is it large enough to contribute to flow?) There is no sump (no room), had to go with a FX cannister filter but to its credit it's doing a great job.
Running Carbon or GFO? I am running what came with the FX cannister (media) in all 3 trays (mechanical, bio, chemical)

How many/what fish do you have? What inverts in the tank?
4 Ocelleris Clowns (1 Mocha) - I understand this is problematic in the future - keeping close watch
Coral Beauty & Flame Angel - Introduced within 1 week of each other. Keeping close watch. Not messing w/ the Duncan
4 Green/Blue Chromis
1 Bangaii Cardinal
1 Azure Damsel

What are your major parameters:
Salinity? 1.024
Temperature? 76 degrees
Alkalinity? 8.3 PH (so should be perfect alk)
Calcium? Never measured / Don't have a kit yet
Magnesium? Never measured / Don't have a kit yet
Nitrates? .05-.10
Phosphate? I only measured this at the LFS and they said it was really good.

What settings are you running on your light? What is the lighting schedule?
The light comes on low at 10am ET and gets hotter around 2pm, then declines back to low by 11pm ET. This is a major adjustment from before, but there are not a lot of blues or violets, so the colors aren't vibrant - i wish to fix this with your settings hopefully.
