I'm on the algae scrubber site so SM can help me with the build.

you could also reduce your photo period......or do a complete "lights" out on the tank for up to three days, to get better results..... lots of things to try but I would bet that just being a little more mindful about how much you feed and rinsing the food, coupled with a low tds will likely do the trick for ya

Just did another 16 gal water change this morning and sucked out all the brown again.
I think I might do like 8 gallon water changes every other day now just to keep siphoning the sand. I caught that bastard shrimp again and put some 5mm screening around my overflow to hopefully prevent him from going back in the overflow. Also my tank temp was a little low around 76. I cleaned the heater and moved it to the sump and turned it up a couple of degrees to hopefully get it back to the 78 79 range.

I fed my frogspawn some acan plus and the feeder tentacles came out so that's a good sign. It's still not inflating like it should though.

I checked my phosphates today with my new Hanna checker and it showed .08.
The diatoms appear to have subsided from the main display, but the sump is really brown where the scrubber is. The biggest thing now is the cyano in the DT. I'm still waiting for a part for my koralia 1050, so just have 2 and a 3 in there right now. I'm going to add gfo to hopefully reduce the phosphates so the cyano stops. The scrubber I need to adjust today since it has way too much flow, so I'll be putting a restrictor in the line. I think the corals are showing signs of recovery but it may take a long time for them to bounce back completely. My frogspawn was starting to bleach out but it's back now. I also removed the carbon.
