Default tank rebuild

so after 6months of tank stress and almost giving up, i managed to figure out some problems i was facing.

1- high phosphates- due to a faulty hanna checker!!! this one drove me nuts!!! mind you they were still high but not as bad as the checker read. on the positive side Hanna customer service is amazing, i will only buy directly from them.

2- algae bloom- due to the high phosphates

3- browning corals- only my purples are browning out, issue isn't fixed yet

4- lack of coral growth


So now im starting fresh, taking baby steps. i would like to start a progress report and get everyones input, on how i can better my reef. later this week im going to include pics and info on the tank.
