How long has the system been setup?
You do need .01 to .03 phosphates and nitrates between 3 to 5 ppm for the corals to grow beside your Ca, Alk, Mg
If you can post a picture and would be helpful so we can get some more eyes and help on this.

staring at the tank, I realize almost all the algea issues are on the left side of the tank, the right side is almost clean. the set up is a 75 with 2 wav heads. on the right, it's on the back wall pointing forward and of the left it's on the side wall, pointing across the tank. is it a flow issue? I moved the left one to the back as well.i,ll see after a few days if theres a change.
