It could be a bacterial imbalance...it could even be the TMC+KZ additives...if they arent being completely assimilated by the corals, then an excess would definitely buildup in your tank...this may make things pretty easy for nuisance algae/bad bacteria to overtake normal bacterial flora. I am guessing here completely, but perhaps there is some truth in it...

I would cut back or stop most of the additives, carry out quite a few 20% water changes and see if things get better.

Keep us updated.

Thing is under control now, but problem is not solved yet. I will keep monitor it.

these pics were what I was refering to... they don't show up for me at all.
 
I see the images just fine. I think if you are viewing the forum without logging in then you wont see pictures uploaded to RC. You will however see embedded images.
 
sorry guys... I think I know why now... I accidentally hit the "private" button on my new album. That explain why sahin has no complain, since I added him to friend list. Let me know if now work...

Sorry again....

My algae issue not getting better nor worse.. but a bad news ...One of my favor coral (see below) is dying. This is the first coral dying in last 12 months. Is was not die from top or bottom, but lost tissues from right hand side, but even the left side become very pale...I have no clue since all other coral looks normal...

I am a bit worry I hit bacteria imbalance issue ( algae issue and coral dying...), and plan to add a few new live rocks, how you guys think?
 
that's an AMAZING looking live rock - what's its source location? very porous looking. where did you put it?

Yes, it is very porous rock with great live rock function. I am not sure where it located, but I used can find them in Bay Area LFS as well.
However, I always feel it is a bit fragile and ugly in display tank, but great for my purpose here. I broke it to 7 pieces and placed them on top of my send bed. I plan to keep this way for a month, and them remove them....
