in my display, lol I have i would say about 250lbs total, but I have a 150g system

you could add rock to a sump/refugium.

You have PM about the meter.

I'll go with the rock method for now, see what happens, and I guess go from there. Photos tonight of the before/after.

As for adding more rock to my sump, its too full already. I'm going to see if I can't rearrange it to fit some more in.

ya if you have room it wouldn't hurt to add more biological filtration.

The deed is done!
Negative things;
- lights went out before I could do the water change
- lights out before I could clean the debris from the bottom

Positive things:
- I changed the overflow from two strainers to a strainer and an emergency overflow, I would say it cut the water noise by about 75%
- New aquascape
- more rock in the sump
- cleaned out more dead skeletons
- hand picked off the GHA
- confirmed that there is truly no more cyano! Hurray
- I changed the position of most everything in the tank, clams etc to hopefully fit better with my lighting set up.
- There are photos, although they are for tomorrow, when the water change is done.
- I removed one large rock plus the ugly rock from the left side.
- I added more rock to the sump/refugium, its now so full it looks painful
- I also have more extra ugly dry rock to add to the system in the future

So far I think the change is a success visually, and I hope that helps with everything else.

Okay some photos;

Everything is a bit blue, I swapped out my MH bulb a couple of weeks ago.

just a thought about the GHA, how old are all your bulbs?

Bulbs are between two and three weeks old.

I clean my filter socks every second day and I do it with hot water and a double rinse in the washer. Sometimes I have to wash them twice.

ok good :)
