Joe, lay off the gimmicks will ya. 
for a while my water filter was not filtering out the Fe from my well. i was getting horrible growth in the tank. do a search for Fe poisoning. Spanky set me straight on what Fe can do to a reef tank. it causes a lot of the same problems as phosphates do. 
one of these days you are going to see the light and quite trying to feed your sand bed.
