PURPLE BLANKET OF ALGAE

[picazo24]

I HAVE HAD MY 65 GALLON RUNNING FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. I AM ONLY BEGINING TO LEARN THE WHOLE SALT WATER GIG. I RECIEVED MY TANK ALREADY ESTABLISHED SO I PUT A GOLDEN STRIPE GROUPER, PICASSO TRIGGER AND A WRASSE IN. MY AMONIA, NITRATES AND NITRITES ARE ALL FINE, AND ARE CHECKED WEEKLY. I HAVE RECENTLY AND RAPIDLY FORMED THIS BLANKET OF PRUPLE ALGAE LOOKING STUFF. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Use RO/DI water and do water changes. What are your nitrate levels?
