    What kind of a growth is it. Hairy, fuzz, slime coat?

    Odds are you have excess nutrients in you tank and increased water changes will aid in the removal. I assume you lights are also 6 months old?

    Welcome to 3reef Lindsay!
    How much filtration and what kind do you employ?
    Try decreasing the amount of food you are feeding...
    water change as Jason mentioned will always help.
    How large a bioload do you have?
