I run GFO and use chaeto to try and control nutrients. I dont overfeed, but i still get a bit of algae on the glass each week and the chaeto does grow quick. what can i do to help? more frequent water changes?

Yup. That's 25% total volume. I do closer to 35% myself, but it's one of THE most important things in my mind.

Algae on the glass once a week is normal. GFO and chaeto are also fine, and I'm sure it's not a NO3 issue giving you trouble.

Do you run carbon ? A lot of those corals secrete toxins to kill corals that encroach on their real estate

Yes I run brs carbon in a phosban 150 reactor.
