I havent had a bacterial bloom (knock on wood). Hair algae levels have been relatively the same since the start. But some algae on the back glass has started to turn grey...

Yeah, check your phosphates... I had alot of SPS death this summer, and never check phosphates... I now test and can tell you that they were up there. I am using pellets with vodka and the combination of both is working well... Phosphates almost at undetectable range and my corals are showing great growth now. I even have had to start dosing MG, Str, and Calcium again outside of the normal water changes. Haven't needed to do this for about 6 months. So a great sign that corals are now using it.
