its brown color thick and hair , and has taken over my snails, my zoa plug, my gsp and the sandCan you take some pics under white lights? That may help I.d the algae. Dinos tend to love low no3/p04 from my experience atleast. But I'm not an expert. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will advice.
twice a week for atleast 2-3 weeksIf you have an algae outbreaks you're likely to see low to no nutrients as the algae are using them up.
How long were you dosing vibrant?
You'd need to dose longer. BRS did a test with it and ran it for 9 weeks before it cleared majority of the algae. I've attached a picture of the timescales it will roughly take to beat different types of algae, I've also attached the thread that has the information in.twice a week for atleast 2-3 weeks
I'm hesitant to go the chemical route, I keep reading that it'll just come back with a vengeance after it disappears the first time. Everything I read is to find the source of the problem, (feeding, lighting, water changes, etc.). I was looking at an Algae Turf Scrubber or a Chaeto Reactor for a bit. I might do that in the future, right now I'm getting all of the assets I need to test the water going into the aquarium, TDS meter and now a Phosphate tester. I think what I have is diatoms though, so silicates are my problem. The video had MicroBacter7 as a possible start to out compete the cyano, I'd probably do that and ramp up as you go.

In 6 to 9 weeks and a little good husbandry most algea outbreaks will clear out on their own.
I have tried it and wasn't impressed. I have half a bottle. If you want to come get it, its yours.
Can't id that, pics are too blue.
It seems to work for many people.All I will say is that I tried the frequent water changes and good husbandry route and it didn't work. On some tanks, depending on how new they may be, algae outbreaks are inevitable. All I added to my plan of attack was that product and persistence and it finally went away.
