Parameters; sg, po4, no3, cal, alk, mag, lighting, flow.
 
Algae usually won't grow on healthy live tissue. Are the tips that have algae showing signs of RTN/STN?

are you sure its algae or could it possibly be dinos/diatoms/cyano?

Looks like cyanobacteria.
Your systems probably out of balance. Can you post any and all testing you have done recently?
