A link is unnecessary, I made two posts back to bac. One to address general algae control problems, the second to address your specific problems. When I suggested tearing the tank down it was in relation to the question about using copper. Sorry, I wasn't too clear about this.
Here is a quote from your original post "But my tanks just don't seem to be healthy & thriving like they used to.
It's just fish & rocks, when I used to have a thriving population of all sorts of tiny creatures that live on the rocks. And lots of Caulerpa Algae, which has also disappered. In the big tank I think it may have gone "sexual" in my refugium causing some big problems.
I have tried to re-introduce some pods, they die."
The fact the you can's seem to keep pods going, and that the tank doesn't seem to be healthy and thriving indicate to me that there is something seriously wrong. I suspect it is the result of medicating the tank, or improper use of additives, but there are many other possible causes. This may not mean tearing down the tank, but you do need to find out why this is occurring.
