I was having a serious problem with a gray algae until recently when my girlfriend got fed up and got a guy to come out and look. He hadn't seen it before and neither had my LFS when I told them about it after the fact. My water numbers were normal for a LPS tank. The gray algae was coating everything though and every couple of weeks I was grabbing a spare powerhead pump on an extension cord and blasting the stuff followed by using a big net to scoop it up.
The aquarium guy used the re-fresh by Dr. Tim's once a week. I turned off the skimmer and did 8 caps as I have an 80 gal tank. It seems to work, but the real question is...what the heck did I have?!!!
