Came back from 2 weeks holidays and made the mistake of having my tanks overfeed. Did wonders for zoanthid growth but it will probably take awhile to clean up the tanks. Here's 2 pics from yesterday.

The last month has gone well. Green algae is now under control. All zoanthids have grown well but blue mushrooms are not opening up as well as they used too. The coraline algae growth on the back glass is growing too well and really takes away from the rest of the picture. Guess it's some to do some scraping.
