Algae at the back only?

[Notsolostfish]

Tank is 10 months old. Had no algae issues, lately noticed algae growing at the back left corner what kind of algae is that? And how do I fix it? Parameters listed below

I am not sure what algae that is, but really the only explanation to why it is growing there is that the corner gets sunlight.

Hmm. I do see some rays of light... do you have bright lights near the tank?

If it's not getting sunlight I would guess flow is the culprit. You could add a small power head behind the rock work. If you have a big budget you could stick an MP10 right there. If you are looking at smaller budget something like a Jecod ELW would work well down there if you don't mind a cord in the tank.

Could be wrong, but that's my best guess. You could also bring your phosphates down to .1, just be careful not to bottom them out because that can invite in dinos, which is WAY worse than whatever that algae is.
