Why phyto?
To feed the corals and copepods. AB+ and Phyto have been suggested by many, so I slowly have been introducing to tank. Like I said, the tank seems to be rebounding so far very nicely. Are you against Phyto?

Here’s charts if my current mp10 configurations that face each other - one’s a little higher and off a bit to the side. The flow might be too much, I’m experimenting with dropping the percentages a bit especially when lights are off

Maybe too much flow or move the pumps?

Eye catching thinks it’s BLACK HOLE SUN

But zoa master on Instagram says “Frozen Hornets” - whatever it is it’s in my tank and I’m loving it
