Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try feeding a bunch more and see if that does the trick, I usually only feed about every three days. I'll step it up to every day and see what happens.
I've been battling these guys for about 2 months and haven't seen any improvement. I tried the lights out and that didn't work. I've heard raising ph can help but mine runs at 8.3 in the morning and about 8.4 at night. I even stopped doing water changes in an effort to raise nitrate but to no avail.
It's really strange too, it'll start off in the morning as a brown dusting, get thicker into a brown mat on the sand bed and about an hour two before lights out it turns into a stringy snotty mess. It's not affecting the rocks and corals too badly, mostly the sand bed looks like crap.
I'm tempted to stop the bio pellets but don't want my water to get too out of hand.
