What I thought was cyanobacteria was actually dinoflagellates. I did a 50 gallon water change this morning after skimming off as much dinoflagellates as I could. I cleaned all the rocks in the tank and cleaned out the protein skimmer as well. I added carbon and phosphate remover to my sump as well to hopefully get rid of any extra nutrients that we not detectable on my test kit. All my parameters are good within the tank. As always, comments and or suggestions are welcomed.

Here are some pictures of the tank. The torch coral is thriving and has a bunch of small white sponges growing on it.

The bubble coral likes it better a little further back in the tank so it is not in direct current.

My fire and ice zoas didn't survive but these green ones are thriving.

The rest are pictures throughout the tank.
