Assure nitrate and phosphate not elevated. This should siphon with 1/4” tubing. Reduce white light intensity or number of hours of white light and add cleaners such as: pitho crabs, chiton snails, carribean blue leg hermits and astrea snails

Interesting green gelatinous growth. The photomicrograph looks like a unicellular organism, Maybe a cyanobacteria. @taricha? A green Chrysophyte?

Under that lighting, the color is about right for a chrysophyte.
( gelatinous growth and cell shape is good agreement for a chrysophyte too.)

It turns more of a brownish tan when lights are on, how should I treat cryshophytes?

The greenish tinge is normal?

I think it's more an artifact of the lighting/ camera....

They don't look green to the eye anyway.
