Need pics. But from what you're saying, it's potentially dinos.

It’s not Dino’s I think it’s some type of brown hair algae or detritus

It’s been growing all over my tank walls and substrate

Forgot the technical name for that, but it's pretty standard growth for any tank. Just have to keep managing water changes and cleaning the glass.

Are there any powerheads in the tank? Or only a hob filter? A powerhead will help keep detritus from settling, otherwise gravity will always pull it down, they create piles, and algae ends up growing.

I’d say you need more clean up crew if you are noticing algae , especially some that reside in the sandbed such as a conch
