Green algae ID

[Pufferlover95]

I have this green algae covering the sand and the majority of the rock and need some help with ID.

Photos taken around 1030pm after lights off.

Tank background information:
-80g AIO (upgraded from 40g and transferred fish, majority of water, and rock work. New livesand used)
-Tank running since 9/1/23

Last full parameters check:

Started dosing AB+ nightly since 9/21. I’ve never used it before, so I don’t know potential side effects, but the color of the food is similar to the algae color.

Looks like new sand uglies...

Possibly. Just wanted to make sure it was not something that I could eliminate by doing something. If it’s just part of the process and nothing needs to be done that’s fine. It’s definitely not the worst looking algae out there.

You can stir or vacuum the sand, add sand sifters, etc

I have a CUC but could probably benefit from more.
