So had a Bellus pair for year now and they ignored everything... Lobos, Torchy, Leathers, SPS... but I added a red Trachy last month and she killed it within a few days. My new Fungia is now getting nipped at today. Any ideas on why the behavior change? Time to donate the pair?

Interesting. I feed twice a day a mix of pellets and frozen mysis. I usually don’t defrost first so imagine this ups my phosphates a bit but I don’t think my total levels are too high. I might try the pure pellets method for a bit and see if your theory works! Barring that, I may then try to slowly up my phosphates and see if that works. My Fuge and Macro algae are growing at a decent rate but not crazy so wonder if more phosphates would also help here too?

Good points. It's been about 6 months but I'm less worried by the GHA as i agree, my livestock can counter that. The Dynos are what furstrate me. I do a 2-3 day black out and it wipes them out and then less then a week later they come back quickly across my sand bed. Is this a deficiency in my dosing you think?

This is a great thread. Last year i started dosing after my SPS were fading and bleaching even with heavy feeding. My fuge was never able to sustain algea either until i started auto dosing for nitrate and phosphate. Now everything is great but I've been getting GHA and Dyno in both my display and fuge. Question for you dosing experts.. Could this be that I'm not dosing enough or that my ratio is off? Hanna Phosphate ULR reads .17ppm and my Salifert Nitrate is always a pain to read but I'm almost always at 10ppm according to it. Ay ideas on how I can keep the Dynos and GHA in check?
