[quote=Myka;362899]Ya, I'm quite aware of the phosphate reading being pretty much useless. My tank is fairly low nutrient, has been from day 1. I don't have any other nuisance algaes. Coralline algae has never really grown much in my tank. My rocks are mostly white. I'm hoping the higher Kelvin lighting may help with this as well.


How is your Cal and Dkh readings at? For Coraline to grow you have to have a bit of it in your tank already, if not you need to get a bit of it in there first.

I would say add some scarlet hermits, like 5 or so and some blue legs. Whether or not you like them should be balanced against how much you hate the valonia :P

Trying hermits will be the VERY last thing I do. I will try out this Tang first (he's seeming promising right now...he bites the Valonia a lot). Plus I will have new bulbs coming at the end of the month. I will try to find an Emerald Crab or two as well. If none of that works...then I will try a few hermits, but I don't think they will work.
