The reservoir thing I've gone through before, doing the math. It's somewhere on here. But controlling nutrients is the same thing as controlling algae. Less nutrients means less algae.

Great to hear. Yes all mechanical filters should be removed. They only starve your corals of food particles, but they generate nutrients. Better to let the particles feed your corals and small fish,...
This is a customer's SURF4 or 4x (or possibly half of a SURF8 or 8x) in saltwater. SURF models are best used only for saltwater, because of the strings which fill in the middle section for growth....

The whole thing needs brushing off in your sink, under running water, each week now. Go to 24 hours of light and bubbles too.
Time for a neat contest: The person who can guess what new aquarium product this is (and even better, what it does) wins the first one Serial Number 0001
Actually the first one will be a rough DIY...
Welcome from Greece. A photo with the red light off would help. But yes if the middle has not filled in yet, and if the bubbles are strong and go up the middle, then you can do 18 hours of light.
...
Well it's certainly still low on light compared to high nutrients, so anything you can do to increase/concentrate the light, or lower the nutrients, will help.

Welcome from Australia,
Good build, growth will be good, although dark because the lights are weak. You can run 20+ hours.
When nutrients come down, growth will be lighter, but may darken...

Carbon dosing usually does cause growth to go light, or clear. I have just seen many screens growth more and thicker when they were not so big.
I think you mean reduce inorganics. Not organics. You want as much organics in the water as possible to feed the corals.
Why is one side dark? Looks like there is only light on the front side now....

All of that works well. Algae uses enzymes to bore into natural silica rock on the beach and reefs, in order to get a strong hold during the waves. So the algae naturally knows what to do with...

It if stops the water, then it will work. But water will still spread out a bit. Give it a try.
