I've done some re search on here and looks like Dino's . What is the best tried and true methods to get rid of this stuff. I try and Siphon it off each water change but it always comes back. It seems to not make my corals very happy. It tends to wrap up on them. Here is a pic for y'all to look at and see what you guys thing. Thanks

Ok the first thing is to get the most of them out of the tank. I would scrub them off your rock, walls Pumps, everything. Soak your equipment in heavy a vinegar solution. This is going to be a complete tank overhaul. You might want to put all your frags and coral into a bin with water from your tank. It's important that any water you siphon must go through a sock like a 200 micron. You can even use a peice of pvc and coffee filters rubberbanded over it to run your water through! Once you ran most of Your water through this device and cleaned up all your equipment reestablish your tank and block out any light from entering it. The main thing you wavy to achieve is to get it to uproot from all the rock the equipment and wherever else it's collecting and into the water column. Then you want to bind it up and out the water. Now that Your tank is been overhauled and is completely covered from the light dose peroxide. 1Ml for ever ten gallons and skim wet. Dose about every 4 to 6 hours if possible. Keep your collection cup cleaned. You'll notice your skimate go from dark green to light your getting close. About 48hrs of blackout or when your skimate clears up with h202 dosing your tank should be looking nice and spiffy when you pull the blinders off. Remember no carbon dosing during this period.
