i beat this crap Yay!!!!! So far clean 2/3 weeks...
started from adding too much coral food i believe

What worked for me (took about a month to kill) at least for now, I hope :

-Started spot dosing H2o2 which seemed to work for a bit but came back/spread STRONG after 7-10 days (dose was @ 1ml/10gal)

-Did a 3 day blackout and just kept dosing peroxide but generally in tank

-That put a good slow to it but then after a few days still came back bad

-Started looking into UVs and got a great deal on a turbotwist 9w

-Raised dose of H2o2 to 2ml/10gal and did another 3 blackout on the 3rd day of blackout received and setup the UV at very slow flow about more than 45,000 uw sec/cm2 or about 40gph - 24/7

-Kept dosing 2ml/10 gal at night for about 1-2 weeks after 2nd blackout and so far so good....

*Obv corals didn't appreciate the h2o2 and closed up but after an hour they were fine

My setup prior to UV sterilizer
57g rimless/ 20g sump
Diy ATS & skimmer
