Maybe you've considered this...Keep siphoning it away from the corals, rock etc...but leave it alone where you can stand to leave it (on the sand?).
I'm thinking that whatever nutrient it's living on..maybe it will use it up if allowed to grow. If large water changes haven't helped...do the opposite. Back off on your water changes....see if it gets worse or better. In my previous life, I knocked it out with a new skimmer. On my new tank, it just went away in exchange for hair algae...which is the lesser of two evils.

that may be an idea because today is the 2nd day i have turned lights on for 4 hours to help the corals a bit and it does not seem to be coming back on the rocks and stuff but is takiing off on the sand.

well i think i may have finally kicked the dinos. dont know what 1 thing killed it but i tried alot of different things. heres a list
replaced ro/di filters twice cleaned all pumps and redirected wavyseas more water changes/ less water changes replaced MH bulbs cut feeding down to every 3 or 4th day turned CA reactor off tested any water associated with tank ran lots of carbon excessive sandbed syphoning and cleaning rocks wet skimming chemipure the final draw was an 8 day blackout which killed it off finally. but the dino spread was so big that when it died off it completely polluted the tank and killed alot of corals and caused a big chain reaction of death. but so far it has not returned. most of the corals really really browned out but now they are starting to color up again. all LPS but 2 frogspawns died. we'll see how it goes. i really hope it doesnt come back though

i'm actually enjoying looking into the tank again so i couldnt refuse taking a couple tank shots. i know its pretty drab looking right now with stuff browned up but slowly the color is coming back. i kind of wish i had taken pics when the dinos overrun everything to compare to now.

Dude it looks awesome. Don't worry about the SPS colours they'll come back.. I wish I could keep brown SPS... It's a great looking tank. Onwards and upwards.
