Brown Algae Covering Live Rock

Hi all,

I recently sort of abandoned my reef tank. The onlything circulating
(and poorly) was a pump. A clown fish was thriving however.

Even the Protein Skimmer was off. Anyway, the fish must of died
because one fine day I saw that the tank was just black, and the
stench was just unbearable.

I cleaned one of the pumps, and put the PS to work. Over several days,
the odor was gone, the water was clear, but there is this brown
feathery algae all over my tank and rocks.

Any ideas of how to remove this stuff without harming the coral algae
underneath? Also, I don't see a single worm, critter, et cetera. Is it
possible this process wiped out the microflora that was seen in the
past? How shoudl I replace them?

TIA for your responses.

The stench comes form the previopus users of this group taking a bath
in your tank. There really is no one here that gives a flying ****
aout your stinking ass fish tank either, so take a hike and find some
place that does. All these ****ers are too busy screwing their dogs
and each other.
