you will want to post this in the General reef or new to hobby forum. This forum is for feedback and questions about the website
 FWIW it sounds like cyano

Things that you can do to reduce cyano Suction off what you can Direct a powerhead across the area Make sure you have adequate flow and circulation in your tank Once a week use a turkey baster to lightly baste the substrate and reef rock in your tank Limit the feedings of flake food Rinse off all frozen food before using Turn the lights off for three days after you have done the above--otherwise the cyano will come right back
