So who is thinking I have two choices A: Have the triggerfish and high waste - possibly just keeping a lower light tank possibly no soft corals B:...
I just finished another physical cleaning, I used a toothbrush and got all the hair algae loose and scooped it up with a net (very tedious!) I moved...
Something else- I'm getting a light red cyno algae now on the liverock. I am really starting to wonder what is going on here. Maybe I just need even...
I also cut back on feeding a bit. I just don't know what else to do to stop it. I seems that it isn't growing on the liverock anymore, just in those...
I do. I have 000 TDS from system and my tap water is about 75.. before I run it though
Also, I changed the DI resin and filters in my RO/DI
UPDATE I had it basically under control for a couple months or so.. I added a refugium, a clean up crew, and did weekly water changes. BUT now...

Just had a few extra pieces when I rearranged Doesn't it have the same benefit in the sump as it does in the display ?
Yes I had guiesman T5 s I put back my electronic metal halide with 14k coralvue bulb now to see if it changed anything. It didn't help Might put t5...
Just extra liverock from the display that I pulled out. I have a nice 65k energy bulb over it now.. I did another water change and pulled some of...
I think the key is letting it grow somewhere else too.. time to get a light on the sump. I already have a bunch of LR in it
The only thing I have done different with this aquarium is (NOT) include a refugium. I am starting to really question if that is the problem? Other...
