caulerpa verticallata. Its one of the invasive species listed by the state of California. It grows like crazy with just trace nutrients. Not sure where I ever got it from.
It may just be me regarding the lights. My corals have been very light (color) since I started this tank. Just recently I started feeding heavier (using pappone) and I've seen the colors start to pop. This is why I haven't pulled out the sunpod yet. I'm hoping to stay with the T5s.
Do you run a skimmer? I found my system was actually skimming too much. A good skimmer in conjunction with a good cleanup crew and some good water changes should take care of your algae/phosphate and mg problems.
