I wouldn't say I was battling it...In fact, I've not paid it any attention whatsoever. What you see there is about what is always there. It doesn't go away, or get worse. That's just how my tank is, I suppose. The orange firecoral seems to eliminate it, but that coral has it's own challenges.

I run some phosban, probably not enough. It is rare that I get any kind of reading on the Hanna LR phosphate photometer.

Wow! Fang is awesome I had no idea they got that big. I guess you don't have any small fish for him to catch. I had one about half his size when I started out. I could watch him eat gobies for lunch catching them if they swam too close to his rock.
