Run a small amount of carbon.
10uM filter socks.
No water changes.
Run tank water through a 5uM sediment filter with a pump and change the filter every 5 days.
Keep dosing phyto.

Doing all that except the 5 micron filter and sand removal. I wish I had green algae on the glass. Or anywhere. Got cyano in a few places, and dinos. Not sure how I'd even set up a 5 micron sediment filter, it would clog instantaneously, but I will look into it. I think I have some 10uM socks around, previously had them overnight on the return nozzles. They sure clogged up quickly.
thanks,
Ivy
