So as the title says I have a deep red, a few specs of green and some brown algae. There is very light dusting of brown on spots in the sand and I think it’s just ugly phase, the red stuff hopefully harmless as well. The brown stuff is what I’m worried about. It got stringy and has air bubbles on it.
tank has been up for 3 months. Four fish and a handful of lps. I’m hoping it’s just new tank syndrome and was thinking someone can put my mind at ease??
Thanks in advance.

Cyano, GHA and diatoms?
 
Clean what you can by hand during water changes. Tested phosphate?
 
Thanks!
I have not purchased phosphate tester yet. With those I pretty much stay the course at this point right?
I did add 2 turbos a week ago and they have been seriously cleaning the rocks
