Algae can make your parameters seem good, keep in mind it’s utilizing those nutrients. Your feeding schedule makes me think you’re not dumping a ton in though.

Here’s what you should do Skully, take the rock out and put it in another container with NO lighting for a few weeks, or months. Still do water changes for that container so the Coraline and other beneficial bacteria can take hold, with a little flow too.

In your DT, you can then constantly clean your frags. Might be some work, but do this now rather than later.

What’s your filter for this?
Any carbon/gfo?
Or any other sort of Phosphate removal?

Also, was that a yes or no to the RO/DI water?

Funny story on RODI, I wasn’t when I started and had a huge diatom outbreak.... darn silicates... which could be your flakes if you aren’t using it.
