Starboard is another option. That's what I'm going to do when I setup the new tank. I'm totally done with sand in SPS tanks. My tank used to have lots of open space, but the corals have grown in...

Ok, well that's good.
Ok, move them around then so that you stir up crap. Put a filter sock on the drain(s) so you catch it all. In the cleanest of tanks you can move the powerheads around and...

The brown cyano may be dinoflagellates if the snails are dying. :( Do you have a calibrated digital pH meter to test pH? Test kits are useless for pH.

What kits do you use to test phosphate and nitrate? What are the readings? My first inkling is the dry rock is leeching nutrients. Dry rock should be "cooked" (see link in signature) to leech...
