Possibly the beginning of Bryopsis, kinda hard to say. If so then I used Reef Flux to get rid of it. Your No3 and P04 look good, but the algae will lock it up, thus making your numbers look lower than they actually are.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking it was this when researching different algae. I will hopefully get it under control before it gets worse!
