First nuisance algae (Bryopsis?)

[Outlaw]

Hey all,
Came home and noticed small green tufts of algae on my front glass.

No idea what it is and hoping you guys and gals can assist me.

Tank has been up for a couple months, has had fish (small pair of Occys) and a clean up crew for a monthish and some Zoas for about 1.5 weeks (seem to be doing fine). Lights have been programmed about 2 weeks. First signs of Diatoms last weekend.

Haven't tested in a few days but will tonight. As of the 16th my Params were:

75 gal with 20L sump (Chaeto on a reverse cycle; most of the time I forget and it stays on)
T: 78
SG: 1.0245
pH: 8 (API)
NH4: 0 (API)
NO2: 0 (API)
NO3: ~0.5 (API)
Ca: 370 (Red Sea Foundation Pro)
Alk: 9-9.2 (Red Sea Foundation Pro)
Mg: 1480 (Red Sea Foundation Pro)
Don't have a phosphate kit yet (trying to get a Hanna checker)

Tropic Marin pro reef salt.
SCA-302 skimmer

And pics: please help!?!

Thanks for looking.

I've never seen it personally, but it looks similar to pictures I've seen of bryopsis.

That was the only that looked close in the ID thread. Not sure why I'd get this first...

Yup, sure looks like Bryopsis there.
Using Kent Tech M, raise your MAG up to 1600, leave there until its gone.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Shortened my photoperiod to 8 hrs also.

Attack it early and you'll be fine! I'm in a little battle myself and raising my MG to combat it.

Also look at reducing nitrates. And check your phosphate level
