My questions for Randy would be: as far as the die off of organisms, won't corralin algae regrow over time? Wouldn't putting in a few pieces of fresh live rubble re-seed the system with additional life forms? Will this method offer me a chance to "try again" with the battle against "low nutrient" algae?

Yes. But in my opinion, that emphasizes that this is a last ditch effort. I'm not convinced that one cannot often (maybe always)accomplish the same goals with other means of phosphate export (like GFO) that are no so disruptive to the aquarium.
