    My next guess is that the system might need to stabilize after removing the chaeto.

    Cleaning the sump and anything else that is trapping particles will help.

    Did you take all the chaeto out, or leave some in?

    I left a small ball in. But I might as well take it out because I am not lighting it.

    Well yes, it would just be adding to the load. However in the spirit of helping thing start, you could leave it and light it.

    Are you dosing any carbon?

    I am not dosing anything to the tank. Monthly water changes to supplement

    Since I change my filter sponge to a filter sock. That has help catch everything so far. My elegance seems to be doing better now. Now I just want to be able to grow SPS.

    Why does this box seem to favour unicellular growth, instead of GHA?
