It's a mat. I had GHA bad for a few weeks, then it went away and now i have this.
I'm going to make a video overviewing my entire setup so I can be more clear about the issue.
Detritus and me!

ya, Ive been doing 20-25% every week. Probably too much, but im cutting back to 10% a week and 40% once a month.
Like i said, ill post a video later tonight here so I can get a fully definitive answer.

No to a diamond in a 55. They're better in 100g. The yellow will be fine in a 55. Pistol shrimp don't break glass: they click at you occasionally. I have 4 fat peps in my tank and small tunnel-dwelling gobies besides the yellow, and no problems. My YWG is 2 going on 3 and has just topped about 4", max growth for them; the pistol is about half his size and resembles a striped lobster. They're great entertainment and thus far have harmed nothing. You can read my fish list in my sig.

haha. Ya i dont have much flow in the fuge. I think its about 60%/40% skimmer/Fuge sections. I tried to put a maxi600 in the fuge (12gallon) but it keeps getting clogged with free flowing chaeto. I trying my extra k3 in the fuge for kicks. k3 != 12g fuge.
I actually built a box out of eggcreate that I attached to the fuge incoming drain so the cheato got all the incomming flow. still no growth
My return is a aquaclear70. so whatever the GPH translates from the overflow to the ~40% flow fuge.

You may have already dealt with the nutrient issue. If this is Cyno then it doesn't need alot of nutrients once it is established. It gets most of what it needs from the lights.
So you could very likely have a situation where the nutrients and flow were out of adjustment. You increased water changes, adjusted powerheads and added phosphate media and carbon but the Cyno already had a foothold. Now it has a life of it's own.
I'm assuming your running a sufficient Protein Skimmer.

oct nw-150 i have it set a little watery
if it actually is cyano. Im keeping my lights off from Thursday 11PM til Monday 11AM
That will kill just about any photo-needing algae.
All i have in there now is some zoas/clove/colts. they are all thriving, so im not worried about them
