You have WHAT?? (that's what a 'smart' phone will get ya when you type a word it doesn't recognize! lol)

Aside from that interesting growth above..your Ca is low at 330, you want it more up around 420- 450. Your Mg about 1350.
Macro algae in the sump is a great way to export nutrients :)

Listen you really have to stop posting from your "SMART" phone-- between your dump and your cocaine algae your breaking laws in 5 states.

On a serious note- Raise your parameters slowly dont try to get your mag up overnight.

agreed you might lose some coral from the cocaine overdose if you try to speed up the dosing process..

seriously though, I lost an expensive a** plate coral last week from a dosing incident. I'm still so heated that I get mad just thinking about it.
