Hello,
I’m curious if anyone can help me id two types of algae I have in my tank.
The first is a brownish hairy algae that grows super fast after removing it manually with brush.

I’m hoping it’s just hair algae and not dino’s

The second is a light green algae maybe green coralline ?

The tank is about three months old, I currently have no fish because my clown recently died of brooks.

My phosphates and nitrates are 0 and I have been trying to raise them slightly by not doing water changes, adding me coral food and phyto.

No fish since July 24, but I had the algae prior to being fallow
 
You still got a waste to go on the fallow period.
I would dose some bacteria and cut down on the lights.
Not much you can do without fish as fish will bring in valuable nutrients for a healthy bacteria growth.
