Nuisance Algae Covering Reef

It hard to see if you have bryopsis or that just green hair algae. Take a closer look to id the bryopsis, if so just manualy remove them, it important to remove them early. Also you need to clean your power head outer and inner components, on next water change. Use RO/Di water instead, tap or premade salt water will just cause more algae growth. For diatoms, green film algae one fighting conch to the tank will help and cerith snail and nerite snails. Wipe diatoms and green algae off the glass daily. However, your tanks looks good and normal. The diatoms and green algae comes and goes. It more of a concern when get a algae bloom or bryopsis.
I would just:
-clean the powerhead
-clean glass daily
-add fighting conch, nerite, and cerith snails
-look for bryopsis and manualy remove. Even green hair algae.
-use ro/di for water changes.
-turn lights off at bedtime
-try not to overfeed, less is safer then over feeding.
