What are your parameters these days ? Water change cycle ?

Alk is a little high. Try to keep around 9.5. Excuse Salinity Apex probe - a little wonky. Change 10% of the water every other week.

What's your nitrate / phos sit at?

I'm struggling to get my nutrients to settle. Tank is less than a year old. I'm currently dosing phosphate

I rarely check NO3/PO4.

Use the health of the aquarium as my guide. When I see any algae start, then I will scale back and only feed once a day.

I would never add any NO3/PO4 to my aquarium. Would just add more fish and/or food. Really want the aquarium to be in equilibrium between inhabitants and food.

I hear you, I'm trying to get a handle on algae before I add more fish and or coral

Saw your Tank Thread.

Wondering if you have tried dosing Phytoplankton? I found that and Chaeto took care of all my algae problems.
