Algae help

[cpate]

65g Tank has been up for a little over 4 months now and I'm trying to figure out why I can't get rid of this algae.. this stuff is locked on the rocks and can't be brushed off so I'm thinking it's not diotoms. I have very little phosphates and have about 10 snails and a couple of emerald crabs to help. Thanks for the help!

Pretty common in new tanks. Keep doing what you're doing for a few more months and it will disappear/ change with time. I have found it takes 12 - 15 months for a tank to truly settle in to a "normal" environment.

That's very little algae for a 4 month tank. You are doing well.
