Light SPS but too much macro

[dbrown]

In the first few months of my tank I had various types of macro in my sump. In time it moved to the MT and took hold.

I have been trying to starve it out and in the meantime my corals have lost alot of color but growth has remained strong. The macro growth has slowed considerably but it will not die.

Nitrates 0

Phosphate is 0.03 or less (Hard to tell on salifert test kit)


Anyone have advice on how to starve this out without starving my corals? Can I dose Amino acids without feeding the macro?

Thanks

That sucks! I would weed that stuff out every other day by hand to do some damage to it..... and keep your Po4 low. Try some coral vitalizer as a coral food, it is for nutrient poor systems, as it does not add too many nutrients to the tank. I have been using it for a month now, and I have noticed some color improvement in my sps.

that purple with neon yellow thing is nice, what is it?

Throw some RowaPhos in your sump and your phosphates will be at zero in no time. That will help your sps.
