Identify this algae

This may be a common algae but I’ve never dealt with it before.
Attached is a regular picture and the other with a flash.
Any ideas?

Looks like typical turf algae with bacteria build up on it. This typically happens to me at the beginning of a new build as the algae starts to die and the bacteria grows on it, consuming the nutrients it releases.

This is sort of the feeling I had about it. I have an excessive amount of bacteria in the tank. Now getting rid of it should be fun..
I’m near the point of draining that system, cleaning the tank and staring over with it.

That looks about right. I’ll do some research! I knew the R2R group would come though! Thanks!!
