Algae ID Help

[Nath514]

Hello,

I have had my 28 gallon AIO setup for about a month now. The rocks were cycled in a plastic bin for 2 months before adding to the tank. I have recently had a bunch oh algae crop up and I want to make sure I know what type it is. I am hoping my tank is still settling in and it will go away on its own but let me know if you think I need to do anything in particular. Below are two pictures of the algae in question. I currently have a tunze 9004 skimmer which isn't pulling too much at the moment. The bioload on the tank is fairly low, there is one clown and a few snails / hermit crabs.

Please let me know what you think the algae is and if I should use any additional products to help get rid of it. ( Phosguard, chemipure blue etc... )

Thanks,
Nathan

Looks like Red Cyanobacteria

That is what I thought at first but then it started to look a bit more like hair algae.

I tried treating using chemiclean to see if it was cyanobacteria but it had no effect so I don't think that is what it is. I also measured my phosphates and they were essentially 0.
