Thinking of restarting.

When I transferred tanks, my rock had tons of bubble algae. I removed it manually one piece at a time as the rock moved over. The new tank was clean enough that the algae never regrew once there. i imagine doing the same but in the same tank would work.
As for FW killing the worms, i think you'll then have a bunch of rock with dead worms in it, which will really contribute to further algae problems. Again, moving to a new system without food for the worms will slowly see them decrease as they starve themselves out. No spikes that way.

curious about your filter , what does it consist of ? If its a wet /dry with bio balls or a canister filter it could be contributing to your issues . I bleached all my rock and am in the process of resurecting it , but even after the bleach eating all the organic material there is alot of phosphates coming off the rocks and its going to take a while for it to be useable .

I would be happy to take some Bristle worms if You're going to kill them all.

Sounds like nutrients may be the issue. Ever look into prodibio?

Canister Filter.

Also if you want some ,feel free to come over and get some. They are very sneaky and tough to catch though.

Also I wouldn't be suprised if nutrients had something to do with it. I was feeding my goniopora rather heavily and I'm sure that wans't helping ,but the tank has been fallow for over four weeks now ,without a speck of food.

Also no ,I have not looked into prodibio. I think I shall though.

I ran a canister for years and once i took it off the tank i noticed an immediate improvment , no matter how much i cleaned it nutrients where always an issue.
