Dan's 150 Rebuild

Its weird, not sure if this has anything to do with it but since going lights out for 3 days and siphoning out twice, the algae was still on the overflows and back wall. Then I removed 2 wp25s and it seems to be going away?
 
Bought some Arcti Pods to try and mix with frozen for the mandarin. Still hasn't gone after anything tho. Also got some Trigger pods for my sump to kind of bump up the already existing population.

On another note, my tank is starting to look better once again! :) so happy
 
Well, still no visible eating from the mandarin. Maybe he likes to eat when no one is watching? Mixing arcti pods and frozen LRS food isn't working so far.
 
Does this look like its splitting? Its been like this for a little over a week, hasn't changed

Anybody know??

On a side note, just tested my tank and not really liking my numbers
Salinity 1.026
Nitrates 2.5ppm
Alk 8.4°
Calc 540ppm
Mag 1560ppm
Phos 0.00ppm

Do I have too many phosguard pellets in there?
 
Seems good to me other than 0 phosphate but could be worse. If everything looks okay just leave things be. Don't want to mess anything up
Yeah I'm starting to get cyano again but I can deal with that, I'm just happy the brown hair algae is all gone. That stuff was deadly. My pipe organ colony was closed for like 2 weeks, now it looks good as new :)
 
Yeah I know its high. This is the highest its ever been since I've been in SW. Do you think its bc I've been doing so many water changes for the algae? Maybe my salt mix had high calcium content
