Saltwater ****es me off

If your TDS is 3 then you're running it too fast. Just slow it down until you get 0.

3 shows a depleted DI filter.

Are you on well water?

I had the API filter running at a slow slow drip like taking 4 or 5 hours to fill up a 5g jug slow. Plus it was brand new. No well water city water

I had the exact same thing happen in my tank at roughly around the 7 month mark. It's not a quick fix but I changed my lighting schedule down from 10hrs daylight to 8 got a phosphate scrubber, dosed with ph4,no3 x. These steps pretty much stopped the growth and it started to die off, got myself a sea hare from the LFS and he's presently cleaning up the rest. But it is definitely a phosphate issue , I don't know where I got it and I sure as hell can't tell you where yours Is coming from I use tap water myself my guess is just a build up over time

Tank is finally getting back to normal (thanks to lots of maintenenance and rowaphos) sps is showing its red color again, and polyps are opening back up.

Do you defrost the mysis and rinse them before you add to your tank?

If not, the melted "water" is full of phosphates. My friend tested it one day and it had very high phosphates.

Since then, I ALWAYS rinse and not just throw in a frozen cube or chunk.
