ID This Algae
Could anyone identify this algae? I'm mostly talking about this Brown Slime looking algae not so much the green dots of algae. I have been trying to ID it but cant find what it quite is. Best I can describe it is a brown slime with some random bubbles in it, if so how can I fight it? Also what is the green stuff?

Looks like you might have a few different strains of cyanobacteria in there..
The "brown" might be dinoflagellates too.. Here is a way to determine if its dinos or not.. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2531708 Whats living in the tank? I would most certainly start my attack by performing a few larger water changes and siphoning out as much of all of that as I could.. Then I would likely turn the lights off for 3 days (more if you don't have any corals).. Then perform another water change after that and siphon out whats left.. Repeat as needed..
