What kind of Alage is this?
It is driving me crazy. It is only in my 20 gallon frag tank, not in my fuge or 120 gallon mixed reef. I have had the lights out for two days and dont really see any improvements. I just changed my RODI cartridges and resin around 6 weeks ago. The bulbs do need changing, but dont know if this in fact the cause. Would like to get an identification and possible way to cure it.

It's from excess nutrients -- I would up your water changes, carbon, skimming, etc.
