How can I clean this up?

Very regular water changes, and maybe cut down on the light period. But I'm no expert. Others will have better understanding and solutions

Welcome to R2R! Looks like you may need a "cleanup crew" to mow down that algae. Check out these guys: https://www.reefcleaners.org
Click on "Cleaner Packages" and choose the size of your tank for their recommendations on what kind and how many. Plus there is also lots of other great info on cleaner ideas. Cheers!

And then there is the Lawnmower Blenny. Lots in there for one to feed upon.

Pick out as much by hand as possible. Water changes can help to bring nitrate and phosphate down, but ultimately you're going to have to track down the source of your nutrient problem. What do you feed your fish/how often? What do you feed your corals and how often? I've had a lot of success using NOPOX to help get things under control and keep them there. Reducing the photoperiod or even a day or two of blackout can be helpful. Good luck and keep us updated.

Can you post your water parameters and nitrate/phosphate levels in your source water. What lighting and lighting period are you using?
