Ok back from vacation with an update: so now had autofeeder on for three weeks straight. Last week phosphates were high (0.09 ppm) and GHA was starting to grow but Corals looked happy and were coloring up. I continued with the autofeeder (by necessity) feeding twice a day last week and today phosphates have dropped to 0.003 ppm, very very little GHA in the tank, no cyano, barely detectable nitrates, alk and ca dropped to 9.8 and 380. Corals look great; new growth and better color. Fish look fat.
I think I was running to clean first too month, worrying too much over parameters. I've decided to keep the autofeeder and not worry too much about parameter watching- just judge by how things are looking in the tank. Will keep alk above 8 and Ca above 400 but that is about it.
