    Passed the OCLT, I think what kicked it into over gear was raising up the FC level... now time to get it balanced and tackle to organic staining on the side walls. Thanks for the help.

    yes, it started to disappear but i fully disappeared towards 60... I will bump up the FC an see how that works out. Thanks. I believe the "black" spots in the picture is the algae its "smoother" compared to the rest of the clean areas.
