Algae identification

[SuthernReefer]

Tank is just under 2 months old. Wondering if this algae is normal or if this is some kind of cyano and or bubble algea and if the algae on the frag plugs is hair algae?

It started off with the ugly brown with air bubbles in the algae, then it turned green, and there is a green film on glass daily that I clean. Now it's a mixture of what you see in the pictures.


I'm going a 13% water change tonight and changing and or cleaning some the filter parts. Parameters are constant and normal.

This is definitely green hair algae. There may also be some bubble algae and a few dinos (brown stuff on the substrate) as well. Some Vibrant might help short-term (along with the water changes, cleaning and other stuff you're doing) and long-term a UV is a great option for keeping algae in-check.

You might also want to test and post your water parameters (I suspect you may have high nitrates and/or phosphates).

Pretty much all of that neon green algae on the rocks is in the process of becoming coraline... but yeah deffinately some hair, bubble and dinos... I would stick to water changes/manual removal of the hair bubble and dinos if you dont want to delay coraline from growing.. If you use vibrant it will forsure impede that process. But overall youre lookin good!
