Back from vacation...and it's bad, but not awful?

Well parameters are OK, salinity stayed at 1.026, Phos is currently at .07, Nitrates at "3" and Alk at 9.8 but....

It's gross. Looks like a huge brown algae outbreak with a dino chaser plus some new turf algae. I'm pretty much gonna rip clean this beast. Lost 3 corals - a bubble, a favia I was trying to save, and a platygyra that was giving me problems prior to vaca. Sometimes I hate this hobby!!!

How long were you away? Did you have anyone looking after the tank?

I was gone a week, I had a lackey at work, whom I SORTA TRUST, pellet feed 3 days and all for reef and phyto some days. It's a gall dern mess. It looks awful. I had it clean, dino free and now it's a poop show. I'm going to reboot this whole tank, I'm done with it.

I'm never leaving again. I hate leaving. I own a business and I basically live here, so leaving for me is near impossible and my wife does nothing but hassle me about it.
