Before we left for holidays, I had red slime algae, come back I've got green slime and hair algae. Corals are dying, tank is very green. Large water change planned for the weekend. Other tank has diatoms since my diamond goby has been banished to a small cave and can not move around the tank thanks to my tominini tang. Also have some kind of clove stuff on a rock that I can't get rid of.

zeo tank.. dusting of green cyano/bright green slime, assumably from imbalance of zeostart/nutrients been battling this since before Istarted zeo but it got really bad while I was on the road for the 2 months before Christmas, it has been on a reduction since i have been home every day again and switched to pure mh. Scopas in this tank is currently cleaning HA off rock from the other tank.
upstairs low maintenance tank. HA, Dychiota, green slime. the green slime has exploded since i moved the t5 fixture from my other tank up to this tank. all bulbs are a year old I need to find something to remove this crap, nothing seems to eat it yet and i can never get rid of it 100%. HA is exploding but thats ok I let it grow on a rock or 2 then put those rocks into the other tank for the tang to eat they come back clean and don't grow ha again. Dichyota<sp.> I have a couple rocks in both tanks covered in this stuff. it seems to grow a bit then have partial die offs, perhaps when i get near ulns long enough perhaps some other reason. I am tempted to get a smaller nasso into the tanks right now then sell him off when i move everything back to the new tank that i am finally making progress on. I am also considering talking to one of the stores to see if I can bring the rock in to be left in a tank that fresh nasso's come into so they can try to eat it up while they acclimate  unfortunately one of the rocks does have a few corals on it but i guess they could be busted off.

What? No mention of lobophora algae? That's discriminating!

I've had it all in this tank.. A couple of years ago I had dictyota bad. In went the Naso Tang and it was gone within a week! I've always had a few crevasses with the odd valonia. I do t bother to do anything about those (yet). Got hit with diatoms bad this past fall. This was due to adding some new sand and stirring up old sand. It sorted itself out over a few weeks tho. After I put my biopellet reactor back on line in November/December I got hit with cyano. Battled it first with a bit more flow and blackout. This kicked a lot of it back but still had stubborn patches of it. Decided to give Chemiclean a shot and with that I nuked cyano in 3 days!! Amazing stuff. Currently have a few patches of hair algae in some shaded areas of all places. Mostly ignoring them for now and treating them as a nutrient sink LOL.
