So I have beaten the dinos with the following:
>Dosing Nitrate to 3ppm and Phosphate .01
>stopping the daily constant water changes
>added UV 55w for 90 gallon
>lowered the time my chaeto light was on
The dinos give way to another real algae that is my new nemesis:mad:

12 trochus snails

Not sure if this is Bryopsis or not.

Okay its been a couple of days and the cleanup crew is going nuts :) I am fighting to keep my nitrates@2ppm and phosphates @.01. I will take pics tomorrow and you can see the
algae has decreased a substantial amount.

9 capsules of fluconazole and a few weeks time and you'll be set

Agreed. My tank was covered with ugly fuzzy gunk a couple of months ago. Here it was before I started treatment (notice all the hairy gunk in the rocks)



Here it was after letting it sit for a month, plus 20 gallon water change and week:
