What algae is this?

I just ordered some Ammonium Chloride and will start adding that when it comes in. Adding manually I think is best??

I personally let my dosing pump handle it because I prefer to add very small amounts very frequently instead of dumping in a lot of ammonia at once. However, I started with dosing manually and this worked as well. Only if there is a lot of nitrogen demand and you won't see any changes in nitrate over time you might need to use a dosing pump if you don't want to dump in too much ammonia at once.

You dose it all the time? How many things do you dose? I was really hoping to never have to dose more than AFR. LOL.

Ammonia 24x2mL,
Phosphate 4x1.5mL,
and AFR because I got lazy and didn't want to have something like 3-part (Balling) anymore.

I dose ammonia and phosphate constantly as otherwise they would drop below detectable levels, I don't have many fish right now and will need to set up a new quarantine tank before I can add more. Additionally I prefer having to dose nutrients instead of trying to keep them down. Dosing is much easier than removing, especially if you are lazy with water changes
