Is it clear to see what type of algae this is? 4 month old tank. Nitrates 5 ppm. This is is the fuge, but there are patches in the display, as well.
 
Looks like dinos to me. I think almost anytime I see bubbles form with a light weight slimy algae, it's dinos.
 
hmm - fun one.
There are two colors in there that are definitely not dinos. green and pink.
Green will be either GHA or bryopsis (if you pull bryopsis and lay it in a shallow dish of water, you will see the feather-like structure.)
Pink in the back left corner of the wall is going to be cyano.
there are probably also dinos or diatoms covering the algae, but mostly the algae structure here is GHA would be my guess.
