I have had this 40B set up for about a year and half, my rock has this fuzziness to them as you can see in pics. I tested the water tonight and results are as follows:
SG 1.026
pH 8.3. (API)
Nitrates 0 (API)
Ca 400 (red sea)
Alk 9.5 (red sea)
Mg 1250 (red sea)

I use reef crystals and with RO/DI water that reads 0 tds out of unit. Its lit with a Tek four bulb t5 unit with ATI bulbs, two coral+ and two blue+. I have a Tunze 9045 nanostream and Jebao wp25 for circulation, along with the return from sump.
I thought that fuzziness was dinos but I'm not so sure. Does anybody know what it is and what I can do to combat it? I need to get it taken care of cause it takes over corals and I can't keep them alive without scrubbing the stuff off.



 
It's algae, not fungus. Try algaefix marine and that should weaken and loosen it up and your clean up crew should knock the rest out. I have heard it called ghost algae, I read it awhile back on a thread in reef central. Hope this helps
 
Thanks never have heard of ghost algae but just did a search and found some useful information.

Ghost algae is what they were calling it haha. Other than that I can't find a name
