Probiotic is good. Continue the dose weekly. If your filter socks n wool is effectively trapping all the detritus, then yes you can make use of your first compartment bottom 8" area to fill some bio media. I recommend siporax. Cheapest seaview $22.50 per pack after discount.

Do have any sand cleaners ?

Cheers,

James

[Problems with keeping sps]

Yup, find a clean compartment to fill up more bacteria housing. Your tank will be more stable and you can feed coral n fishes more.

Do you dose any bacteria?

Cheers,

James

[The biggest within my limits.]

Coral should be ok, its the fishes that will die first. You will see fishes staying near water surface.

Surface area meaning sand, bioring, biomedia like siporax or bacteria king or even crush coral chips, wool......etc

Throw in a air pump and adjust wavemakers near water surface to suck air and increase oxygenation. I think you have a bacteria bloom

Cheers,

James

You can use a cheaper carbon but replace more regularly. Increase your surface area for beneficial bacteria to host will help break down those nutrients. Run red led lights on cheato n harvest them regularly.

James

[Problems with keeping sps]

I think he already saw improvement

Rowaphos plus those cheap carbon will do. Change weekly for the carbon and monthly for rowaphos.

What other bio filtration do you have?

Cheers,

James

[Problems with keeping sps]

Ya its not going to be easy. But its an option. Or to speed things up maybe you can use more carbon to absorb the nutrients.

Alternatively, you may want to slowly replace one a time your po4 rich live rocks with "bleached/vinegar soaked/flushed with distilled water "clean dead rocks with zero po4" to help control the algaes bloom or nutrients leech.

Adding sand has 3 advantages. ..1) more surface area for beneficial bacteria hosting 2) help reflect light upwards 3) better ascetic natural look
