Temps are fine. My halide was ok before, although I do wonder about it at times. I have cut back on lighting already.

Seriously though, if it's not nutrients then try less light for fewer hours. It certainly can't hurt. Any other types of micro algae showing up?
No other algae Lance, just this rapid film growth. I may cut the lights a bit more. Trying to run them enough for the lobo and chalice I have left.

Begin at the beginning.
Stop the Chemi-cure, go back to normal water changes, normal filter changes and leave the glass alone.
Things are likely to go to hell for a few days and than settle down.
Sounds like a good theory Wayne. Its Chemi-Pure, which is just a carbon/resin. The Elite version is suppose to have gfo also, which is why I use it in my tank. Use to be a good product but this is the first I have run the elite version. Doubt its causing any problems.
