Also, your calcium levels are pretty high.
My tank has everything from softies, LPS and SPS. All thriving and growing like weeds. It’s 700 gallons total volume. I change out 5 gallons a day. My Po4 is reugularly around .20 and nitrates around 20ppm. I have absolutely no algae issues and like I said, my corals all thrive.
I don’t see your photo.

I can’t get it to upload for some reason. I’ll try the desktop when I get home.
See, I don’t understand how some people can have numbers like that and no algae. When my po4 starts creeping over .08 the sand starts turning brown and I start getting turf algae. If I ran those numbers it would be a kelp forest in there. Lol.
Even when I started slacking on the water changes and started growing algae in the display, he still looked angry.
