Even though your levels seam to be ok you might need a calcium reactor or A&B suplement because your corals need some "buffer" of staff to be able to pull from for proper growth. so for now they just survive.

The a & b is a two part additive for your tank. It boosts alkalinity and calcium. Both need to be at proper levels for your corals to do well.
There are a number of different types on the market so you can chose. The algae growth is from too much nutrients in you tank or maybe your lighting. Watch how much you feed and don't let your bulbs get too old.

You didn't mention what you are currently doing now to keep your Ca/Alk levels up. If you are doing anything, that would suggest that is where the problem lies.

Glenn are you testing them ? and what brand of test kits are you using? You must know what the Cal, Alk and Mag levels are before you start adding any supplements If you don't have these test kits I recommend Salfert test kits

Test kit is a Nutrifin master test kit. Not a great one but it should give me pretty close levels.
tests include: CA PH Iron KH/GH PO4 NH3 NH4 NO2 NO3 What else am I missing?
