It doesn't get stringy or bubble up at night. I think I will replace my GFO with some new stuff. Get my GAC and ozone running full torque. Siphon out what's on the surface.

Any other suggestions?
Ok, maybe it's the sweet red Fungia making the algae look less cyano-like. I hope so, dinos suck. Is your fish room located on an outside wall of your basement? A small vent to outside can make a big difference for pH. It would be nice to keep it above 8.0. I'm not sure if ozone and biopellets play friendly together - Mr. Wilson might know more about that. You have your BP effluent plumbed direct to your skimmer inlet, right? Maybe dial back your BP effluent a bit to try to help with cyano. Siphoning will certainly be a big help.
