New tank algae

[RafaReef]

I’ve had my tank for about 6 weeks now (2 and half weeks cycling) and now with fish in for 3 weeks, did my first water change a week ago , and will be doing another this weekend.
However, I’ve noticed nuisance algae growth getting worse after the first water change, with a green slime (see on outlet) and a weird white grey algae (on back wall) (pictures bellow)

what can I do to remedy this aside from water changes?

Algae scraper for glass/ about £10 and a toothbrush 'free'
If your planning a water change then clean these prior/ before, it makes the removel more easier to manage along with cleaning filters/sump etc

Agreed. Algae is a normal process for dry rock. Manage parameters, remove what you can.

Any idea what the two algaes are? Have been scraping it before water changes!

no idea. what i do know is its never going to stop so as mentioned previously you just get a good algae magnate and make it a part of your routine to clean your glass and occasionally scrape the tougher stuff away. its a good idea to avoid scraping silicone in the corners.
