Alright, what kind of corals are you attempting to keep, and you should always have your own test kits. The LFS is very lenient on what is "good" water parameters. Also, I think 3 tangs in a 90 gallon is going to be a huge bioload.

I am "assuming" the brown stuff is diatom. Did you recently move everything from the 29 to the 90? If so it sounds like you are going through new tank syndrome.
Please do not add or dose chemicals you are not testing for (B-calcium). In my opinion, this is asking for a disaster.
Do you have a skimmer? If not you will need to do lots of water changes with that bio-load and trying to keep corals.

 

[mr.reef]

yes i have a new skimmer on the way and it has been almost a year when i moved every thing over.

You might want to post your exact water test results. Saying they look good or that your LFS says they are fine doesn't mean everything is all that fine.
