Overall I definitely see better grown in general. Stuff has shown more growth in one month after RR, compared to the months before RR. No question. Colour improvement has occured in a few corals so far (see above), but no drastic overall changes. I think it's because my nitrates are getting high.

My only complaint right now is that I'm battling cyano and some algae. I had a bit before I started RR, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to use RR. But it seems like the cyano/algae is out competing the RR bacteria for the nitrates. So I might bite the bullet and treat with Chemi-clean and start from ground zero, so that RR can get a better grip.

I also just got a large rubbermaid container so that I can do larger water changes. I've only been using a IO salt bucket for water changes, and that's only about 5gallons (for my est. 100gal water volume). So hopefully this will help too.

Have you found a lot of that biofilm in your sump? I only have a few spots of it here and there...
