A little update. I got back from Mexico not long ago to find that both my Rhomboids and my male anthias had passed, for whatever reason. That hurts a little but what can you do, part of the hobby I guess. The deaths I am assuming are the reason for the GHA and turf algae I came home to, although nitrate and phos tests read negligible amounts I am thinking this is due to NO3 and PO4 being consumed (by the algae) faster than the tests can detect.
I have cut the photoperiod by an hour, been performing lighter feedings, bought a sea hare and ordered algefix marine. The sea hare has done absoluetly nothing so I think i bought a dud haha, I barely see him!
I am planning to pick up a small army of turbo snails to see if they will help at all as my current clean up crew is quite small.
Other than all that, I am fairly happy with where the tank is at right now and have begun to build the stand skin finally.
Here are a few top down shots, FTS and an algae pic.
