Can anyone ID this Algae?

Not exactly sure what it is. It's almost clear looking.

Is your tank new? Did you cycle your tank? Looks like bacteria on the rocks that hasn’t had a chance to cycle yet. It’ll start dwindling down but try to increase flow over the area a little

Tank has been running almost a year. I did have a power outage that started a mini cycle around the same time as this algae started showing up and I also had just started dosing with nopox.

Bacterial bloom from the carbon dosing most likely.

Bacterial bloom from the carbon dosing most likely.

Should I stop dosing Nopox to get rid of it? Any advise to help rid it?

Yes, I would stop dosing NPX until that resolves. Then perhaps restart at a lower dose, if still needed.
Blow it off the rocks and catch it in filter socks, then clean the socks.
Also make sure that you are skimming effectively and wet any time you're carbon dosing.
Carbon dosing doesn't work to lower nitrates if you're not removing the bacteria with aggressive skimming.

Awesome, Thanks for the help. I was trying to lower my nitrates to compensate from overfeeding the tank. Lesson learned.
