So after algae growing back so fast I went and got water checked,
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Ph 7.8
Alk 7.5
Mag 1380
Cal 435

Phosphate .25
Yes .25 :(

So after discussions and debating I bought some phosphate rx from bunarong and a little yellow tang.

So I doesn't for 225L tank went cloudy and now after a crazy skimmer it's clear.

Ryan, we all know the crappy algae stage.
I had a Phos reading of 0.30 which scared the heck out of me. Got some RowaPhos into a small 2 Little Fishies reactor and got it down to 0 within 2 weeks, combined with setting up a Chaeto section in the sump. You would only need about 250~300 grams.
I bought more Rowa Phos than I need, so you are welcome to some - just pay the postage.
I can put a big clump of Chaeto in too.

I went to the aquarium today and after the 1 dose of phosphate rx my phosphate is at 0.01 and I did half the dose so it will last me ages, I wont lie I talked to Mrs and when I get a payout I will buy a redsea 650 and set up a refugium, there is no point on this tank as I'd be lucky to get a 40x40x30 tank in stand for a refugium and I dont think it would help much.
