Okay, long story.
There are several parts to that equation. I started using Polyp-Labs "Reef-resh" which made a big difference, I added a 40 gallon refugium which not only worked as a nitrate & bioload export but increased water capacity, I introduced a whole bunch of blue legged hermits to eat the hair algae, I got a way bigger & better skimmer and I added a prop tank which again added more water volume. Unrelated to nitrates but I also added a chiller so I could avoid the annual "summer kill" or "brown out" from the heat. Unfortunately in July I had my infamous dishwasher leaking into my tank incident which either bleached or browned everything out again (lost about 9 pieces of sps) but as you can see it is now on the rebound. Thanks for the interest.
