Don’t have full ro/di just ro this is growing ontop of some rock rubble in a hob refugium it’s definately black and it’s webbing over the rock, also the Chaeto in this hob is matting ontop of the water

Nitrates 20 phosphates close to zero looks like, only have api. Only using like 2-3 Tbsp of phosguard.

My plan is to buy distilled water and make some super clean salt mix and up my water change game

Recently had a pink birdsnest Rtn thought I was overdoing it with the light though.

Lastly a pic of my current algae situation in display been like that for couple weeks too lazy to take it out and it’s hard besides the walls. Corals been acting kinda funky

To water I’m using is 6 tds is this causing weird stuff to grow in my tank I seem to have been through a variety of bacteria blooms in my freshwater tank I started up alongside this too and some heavy fungus going on in that tank lol

Your freshwater tank looks normal - it seems like it will work out:)
 
Looks like you got cyano and hair algae and yes most likely caused by the high tds coming from ro...is that after the ro membrane your getting 6? I usually get xero and use the di as a water polisher.
