I'm Done, Out

GFO is expensive BUT it can be reused, Recycled yes. A member here Pistol does it and I think anyone who wants to save a few bucks and doesn't mind taking the time can do it as well.

I gave up on the rust, I use lanthanum chloride, you need to drip it in a 10uM filter sock.
I use brightwell aquatics, you have to be very careful with the pool suppliers as theirs usually has copper in it which will kill your reef.
Brightwell aquatics is pure pharmaceutical grade.

Lanthanum chloride. Bigshow uses it and a few others here. you'll need to dose it regularly to take out the phosphates. hydrogen peroxide is a temporary fix, to remove the algae already there. to keep algae from growing again, you will need a phosphate binder, right? GFO is very expensive over time. LACI is a lot cheaper. Lots of pool and pond specialists carry this. calcium chloride in 2-part is also a phosphate binder.

LACI ?

Don't get rid of everything stick with it. Fighting algae blooms takes time to fix.

If you dose with kalkwasser it will participate phosphate out of the water and help limit available nutrients. Worse case you can take out all the rocks and scrub the crap out of the rocks.

Try and lock down where the nutrients are coming from. How thick is your crushed coral? A compacted or dirty bed is a huge nutrient sink. Do you use RO for top up and water changes? If you use RO where do you store your containers and what kind of container do you keep the water in? I used for a short amount of time the rubbermaid brute garbage cans and I found they leaked phosphates and organics into my top up water. I changed them to the blue ones from home depot and it fixed the issue. What food do you use and how much do you feed? How is your rockwork arranged? If it is compacted and doesn't allow proper flow through it it will settle waste and add to things.
