I have had my tank up and running for almost over a year now. Back in February I was able to pick up a few frags at our local frag swap and since then they have been doing fine. Starting sometime last week though, I have noticed some significant changes in my coral. Nothing really dramatic has changed as far as chemistry, lighting, or other factors that may cause the corals to become stressed. According to my LFS, all of my water parameters are well within normal ranges. My Phosphates, Nitrates, and Nitrites are all 0.0; my salinity is 1.027; and my Calc and Alk are 400 and 7, respectively. Despite having almost no traceable nutrients, I have seen a massive growth of brown algae throughout my tank. I'm still relatively new to the hobby and I am willing to admit when I need help.
I apologize for my phone's poor picture quality.
