A few random shots, I used the camera's flash and it made some of it look red. It does blow off the rocks like Diatoms and not Cyno. Also the fliter floss is just sturated with brown diatoms in 24 hours;
Here's a 24 hour comparison;

Couple of updated coral shots, everything is doing really well now and the the tank is currently clear of any brown diatoms. I got the Polyp Labs V2 filter/Macro lens combo for the cell phone and these guys are the closest to the glass. Well, not the Favia (bad pic) but I wanted to show it as it was really in trouble for awhile.
In order, full tank shot, Bam Bams, Nirvanas, The poor Spicy Lemon Favia that took a hit but is coloring back up now and the newest addition a baby Rainbow BTA.

We were going to visit Reef Gallery and get a bunch more coral but decided to hold off. We've been plagued by Cyano that is getting worse, Reef Roids appears to be fueling it more but is not the root cause. Our Nitrates and Phosphates are not detectable and everything else looks good. I wold like to get nutrients up first and so far I've;
Removed the Pond Matrix from the fuge. (Jaime Adams advice)
Reduced Chaeto to the size of a golf ball.
Increased feeding.
Going to sit back a little bit to see if those measures help...

Everything's looking good, especially the bubble algae! lol Chaeto is growing well and Coraline is taking root in the DT and we haven't had a brown diatom attack in awhile...
BTW what are these guys called again?
I'll give you a heads up before we head over there again, out last trip got de-railed obviously...
