I have red and green algae on my rocks. The red looks like little balls the green appears to be short hair algae of some kind? Any thoughts on what it is or how to get rid of it? I am close to getting corals in the tank and want to make sure this won’t be an issue once I start adding stuff.

Tested today:

Phosphate: .02 PPM on Hanna
Nitrate:
12 PPM on Red Sea (hard to make out the high range I feel like the color isn't colored the same as any but its not on the darker side so went with the closest one)
5 PPM Nyos (drops come out quick some not sure how accurate it is)
40 PPM API (followed this test to a T but have heard not great accuracy with this either and Red Sea / Nyos conflict this result)...

Anyone have any thoughts on the algae?
