What is the long hair looking thing? Algae? Is the tank starting to cycle? We set it up 5 days ago and added 3 bottles of Fritz Zyme 9 live bacteria to start the cycle, it’s a 90 gallon tank
 
Looks like some type of filamentous algae to me... assuming you run those lights for any length of time (i.e. several hours or more), I would say the chance of growing more algae is pretty close to 100%...
What type of rock and how much did you put in the 90?
What are your plans going forward with this tank?
 
100 pounds of live rock, haven’t 100% decided on stick yet
 
I'd just go lights off for a bit before it spreads.
 
It could be algae. It could be a human hair or something that was on the rock before it went into the tank.
3 bottles of bacteria and something for them to eat will start a cycle for sure.

Oh and Howdy
