Time for my October update! Long story short: algae did not die off. Ugh.
Main updates:
1. All of my snails died, as did the emerald crab I added. I'm not sure what happened to be honest. All my SPS are fine and growing (some slower than others), so not sure what could have killed the others and my SPS be ok...
2. I've started turning up the intensity of the lights, and the corals seem to be happy about that. I've noticed increased growth since I started that. Will continue to inch the white lights up over time.
3. Algae keeps getting worse, likely due to 1 and 2. I don't know what to do about that... suggestions are welcome.
Here's an updated shot of the same orange setosa I documented in July to give you an idea of the growth:
