Yeah...I was hoping that with new water...and phosguard I would just see it shrivel and die....but that hasn't happened. I should probably use the new Phos that I got from BRS in this tank but I was hoping to use up the crappy Seachem stuff I still had left.

Well I took the plug out of the water and scraped it off with a blade. It didn't work as well as I liked but hopefully it got rid of most of it.
There was a tiny bit of hair algae on one of the other plugs but before I could get to it, one of the hermits was busy mowing it down and as of last night, there is none left. For some reason, this tank greens up the glass really really fast...in one day. I have been checking PO4 and it's not high...almost not detectable on my Salifert test kit. My main tank which only gets cleaned once per week reads 4 times higher. I added some more phos in a different spot in the sump. I think my reactor isn't working right because I don't have enough flow in it. I've got a new pump on it's way from OA that will bump that up and get better flow soon.

Bio filtration meaning the Liverock? I know that the Ecorox are going to take a little while to seed...so that's probably it.
Any recommendations for now? I change about 15-20% of the water per week right now.

Well, I've been a little busy with my year end at work lately and so I've been remiss on getting updates for this thread.
Over the last week or so, I've been moving some coral frags over from my main tank to the nano. Here are some pics: FTS  Closeups    I've been pretty religious on checking this water and here's my current readings using Salifert kits Cal: 450 Alk: 7.7 Mag: 1300 PH: 8.1 Temp: 79.5 PO4: .25 Nitrate: <10 The MH/T5HO combo has been putting out some pretty serious heat on me...but my DIY FAN bank has been maintaining things at about 80.5 at their worst.
