I didn't know what was going on and thought at first I was over doing it with GFO. It started with my Gorgonians all closing up. That's when I stopped using GFO all together. But the SPS situation wasn't changing. I finally found the mag issue. I pulled it out, skimmed REALLY wet for a bit and ran lots of carbon, changing every couple days. Almost immediately things started to look better.

FWIW, I still use those dang algae clips. I can't help it... they're my favorite! lol
They did improve the way they are sealed and I keep an eye on them.
It would also help greatly to remove them each night but that's a PITA.
Thanks Dennis.
Yeah I ordered some reef spec carbon. I bought another wet end to my nano mag lol. I love that algae magnet for small aquariums. I just take out after every use and inspect it to make sure it’s not rusting
