Help ID’ing my new tanks algae

[Calebd91]

13 days in my new tank and seeing some yellow/brown algae. I’ve searched many post an pictures an can’t distinguish what exactly I’m looking at. Initially I thought diatoms but today I noticed some bubbles on the rocks where it’s formed. Can anyone help?

could be diatoms. does it blow away if you point a pump/wave maker on it? is it stringy? could also be dinos

It does blow away easy, it leaves a slight residue on the rocks after blowing it away. Doesn’t feel slimy or anything (I brushed some off with my finger). If it’s stringy it’s very very short strings that i can’t really see.

Checked tank this morning, no lights running an they have not gone away, spots in same places as yesterday. So they are not entering water column at night. Could this instead just be diatoms?

Starting to see some stringy stuff…could this possibly be first sign in dinos?

Anyone? I removed the small bag of chemipure elite to possibly help raise phosphate.
just need to know which direction to take to get going right direction. I have read an searched an seem to get more confused the more I read

Yes it has cleared up a lot, still getting faint spots of it but nothing major.
