Calupera going sexual

Well my tank clouded up for the 2nd time and I thought I had picked out all the other algae from the Chaeto when I got it but I guess I didn't and there is slimy, clearish white stuff everywhere and display is cloudy and the skimmer has filled up 3 times today already.

Is there anything else I should worry about or just keep changing out the skimmer cup when it fills up and let it run its course...

I have already stopped the autotopoff for now and I am topping off with fresh saltwater since a small drop was already caused by so much skimmate coming out wet. I also did a 5g water change to help out.

Thanks in advance...

Already changed that out in a reactor

Anything else I should worry about or just wait for it to clear...

Already did a 5 gallon one... will do another tomorrow... the remaining calupera is gone now... will just have to watch some of the rocks in the fuge to make sure it doesn't grow back...
