A little update , bought yet another sixline put it into qt lasted 5 days and died no luck with them unfortunately. On a better note upgraded my light to a Kessil A160we at 25% this thing is stronger than my amazon knockoff light. Now I just need to find a spectral controller. Had to remove all my remaining pandora palys from the tank because the amphipods started to munch on them also took a little video for you all to enjoy.

Sweet. Make sure you have enough sand for it to hide in.

A little up date, since the fuge upgrade have not had any nutrient issues. nitrates stay at around 2ppm. I dose .4ml of iron every week and it has cause my chaeto to grow exponentially. I am feeding heavily every other day and dosing seachem reef complete twice a week going on 3 months now will start reef trace this week. duncan has 12 new heads also. Still have the amphipod issue going on so all my zoas are in my pico still. Got two new frags one is a blue digI and one is a blue birdsnest. pretty soon this tank will be full to the brI'm lol

A little update on the tank. Dealing with some gha, had a six line wrasse die under some rocks and caused a ton of nutrient issues. using Dr Tims algae treatment with dr tims refresh and waste away. So far so good going on the second treatment if all else fails rip cleaning it will be lol here is a few pics of the tank

If that fails, get a reactor and put some phosguard in it.

I'm running phosguard mixed with gfo in it at the moment. only thing I can think of is its something else feeding it. Exhausted my dI resin today getting some new resin. The rest of my water filters are still good.

Well, nitrates and phosphates feed the algae. Dump the GFO for a while.
