Wow Thanks guys, I feel much better knowing its a good thing! I love all the coraline algae and its growing on the glass like crazy. (well in little patches).
I have macroalgae growing on the rocks, thats good right? BTW what exactly does coraline algae do?

 Having said that, it does show you have good calcium/alk levels needed for coral growth

It's growth uses up nutrients that other algae might otherwise use and other algae are less likely to attach to coralline algae then they are to bare rock.
As far as looking nice, thats a matter of opinion  when it gets so thick it can no longer hold itself up, it looks pretty tacky Sorry for the crappy photos I was fighting reflections but this is what I mean, these is pics of the back glass and one of my overflows
