    Looks to me like you have some small patches of cyano with nitrogen bubbles.

    You can try increasing flow to that area and get your nitrates down, it looks like you have a small amount of hair algae as well.

    Perhaps skim a little wetter. You can add some chaeto to the display in a basket that contains it, so it can out compete the other algae.

    Yes.

    Be sure to acclimate your corals to the new bulbs.

    Good luck.

    :)

    No sump no fuge no bio balls? What are you using for filtration? Agree with the added flow, will help a lot.
