This tank is foul

your aquarium needed calcium

your lights could also be TOO close to your tank. i have my MH system 2 feet above my tank and i have SPS growing in the sand bed.so that would be 4 feet of penetraion from top to bottom. so try raising your MH.

too much light! rookie mistake! I learned the hard way! buying the most beautiful coraline encrusted purple and green mushroom rocks. 1 month later they were all dead???? so now i have no more than 8 hours a day especially with halides. Nice tank though just don't let that algae take control.

@hugo2x 2 months after what? New lighting?

You have too many phosphates , and your green hair algae is growin over the coraline algae and keeeping it from getting light. You need a sea hare to get rid of that algae. also get a liquid phosphate remover your water will be milky for a few days but its worth it. your coraline algae will quickly return.
