Hi everyone!
Would love to get your opinion on what type of uncontrollable algae i'm running in my 200 G tank.
To me it looks like lingbya and GHA mixed, but want to make sure.
Some of it just go flying in the water culom without intervention while other refuses to detach even with syphon and toothbrush.

Nitrate and phosphate are low, probably because it's all trapped in the algae. Following an expirineced reefer advice and started running GFO.
