My tank was going fine for a many months. So after I added the first round of corals to a mature tank, I got a ton of brown algae. I tested everything and it is all the same as when I had no algae. I have no clue what's happeneing. It's causing all the corals to close up. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is happening?

Coral looks.good to me. Id turn the light up a little. More flow. More filtration. I do see spots of diatom or brown algae but i dont see any outbreaks or real coverings of algae. Hths
