To sum up success in two words IMO: Phosphate control.
Inorganic phosphate inhibits calcification. Stop calcification and you decrease/stop growth which decreases color.
How you decrease phosphate really doesn't matter, i.e. skimming, water changes, phosphate absorption, etc; as long as you come close to the magic level (Redfield ratio) found in nature.

BRAVO!
