Knee deep in the ugly stage. Cyano and hair algae all over everything. CuC not keeping up. I tested phosphates and nitrates today and got 0 for nitrates and between .075 and .1 for phosphate (pH 8.3, alk 8.8, Ca 410, Mg 1360, tank at 77 degrees).
Looks like I am getting strong cyano and hair algae growth. Also seeing strong coralline growth. All sorts of colors on the rocks. Coral is growing well. The lepastrea is looking great and the styloconiella is looking happy and appears to be growing. Chalice, favia, anacropora, lepto, and candy cane corals are all growing and colorful.
