So I have beaten the dinos with the following:
>Dosing Nitrate to 3ppm and Phosphate .01
>stopping the daily constant water changes
>added UV 55w for 90 gallon
>lowered the time my chaeto light was on
The dinos give way to another real algae that is my new nemesis:mad:

I have ordered
12 trochus snails
10 cerith snails
Not sure if this is Bryopsis or not.
 
Looks like it could be bryopsis to me, a little hard to tell though. I'd give the clean up crew a few weeks and if it gets bad use fluconazole. Very easy treatment especially since your tank looks very new.
 
9 capsules of fluconazole and a few weeks time and you'll be set
 
Okay its been a couple of days and the cleanup crew is going nuts :) I am fighting to keep my nitrates@2ppm and phosphates @.01. I will take pics tomorrow and you can see the
algae has decreased a substantial amount.

Agreed. My tank was covered with ugly fuzzy gunk a couple of months ago. Here it was before I started treatment (notice all the hairy gunk in the rocks)


Here it was after letting it sit for a month, plus 20 gallon water change and week:
