Default Rapid film algae growth

Bet you never seen anything like I have. Whatever has happened to my tank, just keeps fuelling a growth of film algae on the glass like I have never seen.

I clean it off and can grow a new film on the glass in an hour. Clean the bare bottom and its green in a couple hrs. No green on my rock but it gets covered in a brown film.

All easily removed with a toothbrush or cleaning magnet. I have done 6,0000000000000g of water changes since all the rtn event. My skimmer is skimming like crazy. Change filter socks every two days. Use to be once/week.

RO water is reading 0ppm coming from the DI resin. I only have my pair of clowns and an old pj cardinal nobody wanted, so feeding is not abundant, although they eat well. I even gave my ravenous cleaners to Mike. On my 3rd. bag of Chemi-pure Elite in a couple weeks. Something is crap here and no idea what.

I tell ya. Its getting close.
